"Everything I Learned About Life I Learned on the Basketball Court."

This according to a dumb jock who has a cushy job with the Obama administration:

Arne Duncan loves basketball. And why wouldn't he?

It helped him get to Harvard.

It's how he found his wife.

It even played a role in his becoming Secretary of Education.

"So much of what I've learned in life, I learned on a basketball court," he says. "It helped shape me. And it's been formative. It's been a love for a long, long time. It's something I still love."

Duncan, 45, was honorable mention all-Ivy League at Harvard in the mid-1980s. He played professionally in Australia, where he met his future wife. And he became good friends with Craig Robinson on the playground courts of Chicago.

...

Duncan believes — and this is another thing he shares with the president — that basketball reveals character.

No, it reveals you aren't qualified to run a lemonade stand, much less a huge federal department.
