president-obama  vs  lebron-james

This morning I was listening to Mike and Mike in the Morning on ESPN Radio, and they discussed a great question. The question was thought-provoking enough that I would love to discuss and hear your answers. Here the question…

WOULD YOU RATHER BE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OR A SUPERSTAR PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE?

This question got me thinking. It is a great question.

For me, my answer has to go back to my childhood. I never dreamed as a kid of becoming the President of the United States. However, as a kid I often dreamed of playing shortstop for the New York Yankees and playing small forward for the Chicago Bulls. I never pretended to veto a bill from Congress or imagined what it would be like to execute a campaign strategy. However, I did pretend hitting the game-winning jump shot on my indoor Nerf hoop and hitting a walk-off homerun in my back yard. I would have to go with being a superstar professional athlete – a baseball player for the New York Yankees more specifically.
