Obama Wants Some Hoops in the White House President-elect Barack Obama says it’s time to get some hoops in the White House. He said he’s got no need for a bowling alley, but basketball is a whole different story. During his years as a student at Hawaii’s Punahou High School, he was a reserve player on the squad. Former all-star NBA shooting guard Reggie Miller said that if Obama does rip out the lanes and replace it with some hardwood, he’d like to get in on a game or two. “I would love to be the first to go there and play,” said Miller, who has an NBA all-time record of 2,560 three-pointers with the Indiana Pacers. Miller, 43, is now an NBA analyst for TNT. “I have never met [Obama] personally, but from afar, obviously, I admire the man and the courage and the strength, the wisdom. I respect how much of a family man he is,” Miller said.
