President Obama couldn't take his eyes off Game 7 of the NBA Finals, even after Air Force One landed at Joint Base Andrews and it was time to get off the aircraft.
As Kyrie Irving hit what turned out to be the eventual game-winning basket from downtown, as Kevin Love played lockdown defense on Stephen Curry, and as LeBron sealed the game with a free throw, Obama stayed glued to his seat.
It's pretty difficult to blame the President; the ending of that game was incredible, and the game as a whole could have been the best Finals Game 7 of alltime.
Here's a photo of Obama after his good pal Steph lost to LeBron.
Yeah, he doesn't look happy.
