Michelle Obama's brother hired by Milwaukee Bucks

The Milwaukee Bucks may give the Chicago Bulls a run for their money as President Barack Obama's favorite team.

The Bucks on Monday hired former Oregon State coach Craig Robinson as vice president of player and organizational development. If the name sounds familiar, well, he is also the brother of First Lady Michelle Obama.

Robinson is expected to serve as a mentor and adviser to the Bucks, who boast the youngest roster in the NBA -- including Giannis Antetokounmpo and fellow 21-year-old forward Jabari Parker.

"Player development is instrumental to the success of our players on the court and their valuable impact in the community," Bucks co-owner Wes Edens said in a statement. "We strive to equip every member of our organization with the tools they need to find personal success beyond basketball. As we continue to build a world-class franchise, we're thrilled to have someone with Craig's experience and character join our team and help our players reach their full potential on and off the court."

Robinson posted a 93-104 record in six seasons (2008-14) with the Beavers. He did not play in the NBA despite being drafted in 1983 out of Princeton.
