Basketballers as politicians
In a week where local basketball has mixed freely with politics, comes news of Charles Barkley wanting to enter public life.
Which got me to thinking: which past or present Aussie hoopsters would make good politicians?
The obvious answer is A. Gaze - intelligent, well-spoken and universally liked.
But I thought someone else I'd like to see is Darnell Mee, once he gets naturalised. Can you just imagine him in Parliament, wearing a spiffy suit, and shooting that death stare at anyone who dares question anything he says or does? I'd vote for him.
Who else is there?
