President Obama is a huge sports fan. And he loves his hoops. How much?
The President and the First Family were returning from a vacation in Yosemite on Sunday. Air Force One's landing came just as Game 7 of the NBA Finals was concluding. The plane landed at Joint Base Andrews with two minutes left in Cleveland's 93-89 victory.
Rather than miss the thrilling finish, the President opted to stay on board and watch as the Cleveland Cavaliers stunned the Golden State Warriors for the NBA championship.
