Brock and Brandon’s Presidential Starting 5 Draft
So we had this idea on Monday, Presidents' Day, to put a fun sports twist on the holiday.
A fantasy draft of a starting five of presidents! The idea being to take the five presidents you would want as your starting five for a basketball game. We also assumed each president would be in his prime.
Brock won the No. 1 overall pick via coinflip, and our draft was snake style. So here are the lineups.
Brock's team
Point Guard: Barack Obama (No. 1 overall pick), 6-foot-1
Shooting Guard: Gerald Ford, 6-foot
Small Forward: Ulysses S. Grant, 5-foot-8
Power Forward: Teddy Roosevelt, 5-foot-10
Center: George H.W. Bush, 6-foot-2
Coach: Dwight D. Eisenhower
Brandon's team
Point Guard: George W. Bush, 6-foot
Shooting Guard: Harry S. Truman: 5-foot-8
Small Forward: William Howard Taft: 5-foot-11 (335 pounds)
Power Forward: Lyndon B. Johnson, 6-foot-4
Center: Abraham Lincoln, 6-foot-4
