Michelle Obama left no stone unturned in her 2018 memoir, “Becoming,” including the details she shared about her close bond with her brother, Craig Robinson. “You have been my protector since the day I was born. You have made me laugh more than any other person on this earth. You are the best brother a sister could ask for, a loving and caring son, husband, and father,” she wrote in the confines of the books about Robinson. Aww!

And when it came time to meet his little sister’s boyfriend, Barack Obama, he had his protective brotherly antennas up then too. Fortunately for Barack, he passed the smell test. Robinson later revealed on an August 2020 episode of his sister’s podcast, the “Michelle Obama Podcast,” that it was the way that Barack played a pickup game of basketball that really made a good impression. “When you play pickup basketball, a lot is based on integrity. Because you have to call your own fouls, there are no referees,” Robinson explained. “And there’s always that guy who acts like he’s a good dude until he has to make his own calls, and he’s callin’ fouls all the time. Well, Barack wasn’t that guy, and that was good to see. That was the first thing. The second thing is he could actually play a little bit. He wasn’t lying about that he played, about how good he was,” Robinson recalled.
