Arne Duncan’s got game | Power Line

A little tidbit to brighten your morning, no matter what your political affiliation.

The summer league at Georgetown University features a mixture of college players from the D.C. area and/or D.C. area colleges and older players who are still plying their trade or, in some cases, are just competing for the fun of it. The quality of the play is pretty good. To give you an idea, average players for mid-major schools like George Washington tend to do well but not to dominate. Outstanding talents like Alex Len and Nick Faust of Maryland, who may be a year or two away from stardom in the ACC, dominate in this league (or did on Sunday).

On Saturday, Lawrence Moten played. He’s a DC school boy legend who went on the star at Syracuse and then played for three years in the NBA. Now 40, he’s one of those who plays for fun, I imagine. Moten still has that sweet stroke and he held his own.

I figured Moten must be the oldest guy in the league. But on Sunday, during warm-ups for the second game, I spotted a graying player who looked to be pushing 50. It turned out to be Arne Duncan, the Secretary of Education.

Makes you wonder about all the education administrators who asspire to the same lofty positions. Maybe if they put business people in charge of schools, things would turn around, huh?
