NBA Jam fulfills your dreams of playing basketball with George W. Bush. Also, some guy called Obama

Anyway, EA's new NBA Jamis continuing the series' tradition of including unlockable polititians as secret playable characters. And as I've got a good grasp of this whole journalistic news reporting thing, I'm going to tell you who they are.We'll be gettingthe current President of the USA, the previous one, and several other high profile political notables, by way of rival Democrat and Republican teams. Thefull line-up?

Democrats

Barack Obama

Bill Clinton

Hillary Clinton

Al Gore

Joe Biden

Republicans

George W. Bush

Dick Cheney

John McCain

Sarah Palin

Also confirmed are the Beastie Boys and another, uber-top secret musical act. According to the game's Creative Director, Trey Smith, "the politician dunk faces are some of the best dunk faces in the entire game". Also, Sarah Palin has "a helicopter dunk that is just awesome". So, who are you going to unlock first? And who else you think would make a great secret baller?

Cheers,ESPN!
