No way. Please don't tell me that a basketball player has taken over the initials of one of our most active presidents, who did a lot of things that I disagreed with, but who also did a lot of thing that I agreed with. There's no way that someone who is known for being really good at basketball should take over the initials of a president who served his country through some very trying times. The sixties weren't all about flower power, hallucinogenic drugs, and free love. There were lots of real issues to deal with, and although LBJ, the real LBJ, failed, in my mind, with some of these, he was successful in many others.

Next, you'll be telling me that there's a basketball player named FDR, or JFK.
