Barack Obama's campaign calls this a three-point swish, but it looks a little close to us, and, for the record, the ball caught a little rim on the way down. Would a ref really give him a three? Either way, give Obama credit for sinking the shot at this time-worn gym in South Carolina, where he was making a campaign stop. The senator may not quite be Bill Bradley, but the word on the street is that Obama, who plays regularly on the road as he campaigns, is a pretty good player.
