Obama And Women's UConn Basketball: Watch The Impromptu Game Of Their Lives (VIDEO)

The president, a former high school player and avid basketball fan, prevailed in a brief, impromptu game of P-I-G with a few players from UConn's women's team.

"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."

From the looks of this video, Obama bested the group UConn women who had not lost a single game during the 2009 season.

you got some mad skills playing basketball, Barack!

We are EXTREMELY glad you're our president! :]]]]]]

Its funny to see Obama having such a good time and being cool with the girls. I remember last time dubya was relaxing...

a) Choked on Pretzels
b) Fell from a Segway, that was built to balance even a brick !
c) Fell from a bicycle ..

Oh well, miss those comical days...

[margardner]

Whoops, there it is!

So cool.

[rapillard]

will there ever be a moment when i stop thinking with such joy, "that's my president!" still as happy as i was back in august... november... and january.

[sonnyshook]

those girls are packing shoulders

[chibbles]

Yes they do. They look good. Love that they put on dresses for the occasion. In dresses and heels they still have game.

[2morrowKnight]

Mr. President was looking good on the court. But I still think I could school him pretty good with my patented fade away jumper! :)

[okjoel]

Very cool.

[livingfree]

Can we ask the President to play one quarter in the NBA? He is shooting better than they are. It would be like Magic and Larry Byrd all over again from the 80's. That's real basketball from those days. 70's and 80's NBA, wow, that was real. NBA hasn't top that era yet.

LOL, the Bulls could use his mid-range jumper tonight in Game 7.

[madHenry]

You got that right. The best moment in the game from the Bulls perspective has to be the block that Rose made on a much taller man. Look for it in the highlights.

[Sevenfeet]

One quarter? I'd settle just for two minutes!

[jones]

Those girls were too excited to shoot straight. They would have done better if he wasn't around. But they all seemed to be enjoying the moment.

[ToonMoene]

Hmmmm,

Why do I get this ugly feeling that this game is rigged .... ?

[Edward Vogel]

People have fun and you smell a conspiracy???? Lighten up.

[madatnewsmedia]

Because, you are overly suspicious! There's no reason to believe that the game was rigged! The President can handle his own on the court!

[thelipstickfemme]

Ok, that was not fair. They were playing in high hells or fancy shoes lol...The Prez. Obama has great form through...

[Karl Jonas]

he's such a cutie

[my2girls]

My favorite girls team and my favorite President! :)

[madHenry]

Ain't no girls there. I'm a UTenn fan, myself, but I bet the Uconn women could take half the Div 1 men's teams!

[Pie7]

Agreed and LMAO

[vonPinto]

Great. Men, that was great. Three for three. I can now begin to understand that one long shot he scored when he visited the troops in Iraq as a Senator during the campaigns.

[billbb]

His brother-in-law says he has a pretty good game - and he's a college coach. Obviously, they were just fooling around with this, but Obama's not bad. He does need some work on his bowling, though!

[madHenry]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Yeah, I think my 13-year old can take the Prez in bowling.

[MichelleB]

God, he is so cool!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!1

[Seema Kengeri]

Super cool POTUS.
His 3-pointers seem so effortless.
And ofcourse --- Go Huskies! They are undefeated champions.
