President Barack Obama has fired back at NBA legend Michael Jordan over his golf game, according to a report on Wednesday.

Jordan said the president isn’t very good at golf.

“I’ve never played with Obama, but I would,” Jordan reportedly said in an interview with Ahmad Rashad. “But — nah, that’s OK. I‘ll take him out. He’s a hack. Man, I’d be all day playing with him.”

“Do you really want to say that?,” Rashad replied. “The president of the United States is a hack?”

“Don’t worry about it,” Jordan added. “I never said he’s wasn’t a great politician, I just said he’s a [expletive] golfer.”

Obama, in an interview with a Wisconsin radio station on Monday, said, “But there is no doubt that Michael is a better golfer than I am. Of course if I was playing twice a day for the last 15 years, then that might not be the case.”

“He might want to spend more time thinking about the Bobcats — or the Hornets.”

Currently, the Charlotte Hornets are 1-3 and have had consistently bad records.
