Given the chance, basketball icon Michael Jordan would not hit the green with President Barack Obama.

Sportscaster Ahmad Rashad asked Jordan who his dream golf foursome would be in a Wednesday interview on the Back9Network golf channel. Jordan said he’d play a round with golf legend Arnold Palmer and the President, then quickly took it back because he said Obama would be too slow.

“I never played with Obama, but I would,” Jordan said. “But nah, that’s okay, I take him out. He’s a hack, man, I’d be all day playing with him.”

“Do you really want to say that? He’s the President of the United States, he’s a hack?” Rashad asked.

“Don’t worry about it,” Jordan said. “I never said he wasn’t a great politician, I’m just saying he’s a sh*tty golfer.”
