Michael Jordan was an all-world trash-talker during his storied NBA career.
Some things never change.
The Hall of Famer, who now owns the Charlotte Hornets and often spends his spare time on the golf course, didn’t hesitate to call President Obama a terrible golfer (except in much different terms).
Jordan recently did a sit-down interview with Ahmad Rashad, who asked, “Who is your ideal golf foursome?”
“I’ve never played with Obama, but I would,” Jordan said. “But, nah, that’s OK. I take him out. He’s a hack. Man, it would be all day playing with him.”
When Rashad replied, “Do you really want to say that to the President of the United States? That he’s a hack?” Jordan said: “Yeah, don’t worry about it. I never said he wasn’t a great politician. I’m just saying he’s a (expletive) golfer.”

To be fair, Jordan’s choices of Rory McIlroy, Arnold Palmer, a clone of himself (because of course) and former president Teddy Roosevelt aren’t terrible.
Although, Obama probably disagrees.
