Why Boris Johnson is right to prefer basketball to football... GOOD: George W Bush (Golf) Back at the turn of the century George W Bush was busy leading the war on terror. So busy, in fact, that he had to combine a press conference with a round of golf. Great drive, mind. GOOD: George W Bush (Baseball) We already know that 43 was a dab hand at golf, and he also played rugby union in his Yale days, but throwing a pitch in front of a full house at Yankee Stadium during a World Series match, while wearing a bullet-proof vest, beats the lot. GOOD: Barack Obama (Basketball) Back in 2008 when Barack Obama was a fresh-faced Senator full of hope and change he played with a carefree devil on the basketball court. This Obama looks fit, athletic and skillful. BAD: Barack Obama (Basketball) Two bitter election campaigns and nearly five years in office have chipped away at the President's basketball skills. He managed to shoot just two hoops out of 22 as he tried to show off his skills at this year's White House Easter festivities. GOOD: Tony Blair (Football) Newcastle fan Tony Blair said he would "looooooove it" if he got the chance to play head tennis with Kevin Keegan. KK obliged and they put on a very good show for the cameras. BAD: Tony Blair (Football) Blair's heading skills clearly impressed Keegan but, as this video shows, his work in front of goal would have left the former Manchester City manager with a case of Jon Macken-related deja vu. It's Russian premier Vladimir Putin doing his judo thing!
