Coach Obama's corner and Hope Dreams

Hopefully hoop star Barack Obama has on his reading list along with "Team of Rivals" ex-Chicagoan and Bulls coach Phil Jackson's  book "Sacred Hoops."
It chronicles the difficulties and challenges of forging a team and winning championships with a team of stars and egos including Jordan, Pippen and Rodman.   Jackson gives lots of credit to their ability to inspire and elevate the performance of average players.
Obama will need all those skills and then some.

If Obama manages to get a winning season out of the Hillary to Richardson to Emanual to Daschel to Pelosi and Reid line-up he deserves a trophy.

Denver fans who have suffered through the Iverson/Anthony lesson in non-leadership do not need coaching on the difficulty of winning with the stars.
If the Obama cabinet gels he may have the title for his first post presidency book — "Team of Egos."
