Count UNC guard Danny Green as one of the many Barack Obama fans ... on the basketball court. Obama practiced with the Tar Heels last spring, and left many of the players impressed by his skills. "I was on the sideline watching him," he said. "You can tell he played a little bit back in the day. He had a couple moves, a little jumper. He's left-handed. He's a little rusty, but it was cool to be around him and take pictures." (South Florida Sun-Sentinel)
