Tomorrow I’ll post another in our “BERN” series about Bernie Sanders’s race for the nomination, but today I just wanted to post this fun video that’s gone viral (400,000+ views) showing Bernie shooting hoops last Sunday, prior to a town hall in Las Vegas, and I’ll share below a nostalgic article about Bernie and basketball.
