The Larranaga's play basketball with Obama in Presidential pick-up game












Jim Larranaga's sons Jon and Jay got a chance to play some basketball with President Obama at the For McNair this past weekend. Both sons played under their Dad in Divison I, Jon played at George Mason and Jay at Bowling Green. I originally saw a tweet from Bob Larranaga, talking about his nephews and didn't know if it was true until Steven Goff and Dan Steinberg of the Washington Post confirmed it:
"Anyhow, the guys were playing full-court five-on-five, games to 21, by twos and threes. After the first loss, the Larranagas, Obama and friends rattled off four straight wins, with the president hitting a game-winning jumper from just past the free-throw line in the final game. Obama gave all his teammates high fives, made a crack about the losing team and posed for photos with both teams. Jon described the experience as "awesome," and said he absolutely would accept a second invitation."
