The University of Illinois men's basketball team honors the anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday with a reading of the Gettysburg Address... and a few made shots.
At a towering 6'4", in his day Lincoln no doubt would have played center, that's if basketball had been around back then which it wasn't. Given the way people have grown since then, today he'd probably be a point guard.
With his shrewdness and intestinal fortitude, you'd definitely want the ball in his hands at the end of close games.
