President Obama Shoots Some Hoops With The Lady Huskies
Total Pro Sports – Recently the 2009 UConn Lady Huskies National Championship basketball team traveled to the White House for a ceremonial visit with President Barack Obama.
During the visit, the Lady Huskies were treated to a special Presidential shoot around at the White House outdoor half-court. Obama a former high school basketball player, absolutely dominated a few of the Huskies in a short game of P-I-G.
“He was pretty good from 17 feet,” said coach Geno Auriemma. “His shot’s a little unorthodox, but it goes in … He’s got a little bit of that swagger.” [NHR]
Like every other ceremonial visit to the White House the Lady Huskies gave Obama a basketball signed by the players and a Uconn jersey with #1 and his name on the back.
“Number One – that’s what I’m talking about,” Obama joked. “I will wear it when I’m playing.
Truly a special day that the 2009 Lady Huskies will always remember. Video after the jump.

This man’s got hustle even with a suit and tie and Security standing there
in a power stance behind him.
What a stud!
I’m just saying–maybe the world’s leaders should hold a basketball game–East vs. West, or something. With Obama on our side, we’re sure to win. Unless Kim Jong Il has some mad ups or something.
This is why women’s basketball sucks. See how your percentage drops when you shoot from a real three point line? Fundamentals my ass.
hah, he schooled them
funny that his brother in-law coaches for OSU a nearby rival team….you guessed it the huskies
lol, our president is nailing jump shots.
