That really [worries ](http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/chapman/ct-bernie-sanders-is-too-old-20160205-story.html "undefined")some people who think he’s simply too old to run a nation. We now know, however, that Sanders is certainly not too old to [smoke clowns like you on the b-ball court](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2VArg4Kz6k "undefined"). Following the news of [his win](http://time.com/4213889/new-hampshire-primary-results-donald-trump-bernie-sanders/ "undefined") in Tuesday’s New Hampshire primaries, the Vermont senator joined his two adult sons and a few of his seven grandchildren for some good old-fashioned hoops: As you’ll see, Fox News host [Megyn Kelly](http://time.com/4196506/republican-debate-donald-trump-megyn-kelly-fox-news/ "undefined") is quite surprised by Sanders’ skills. “Is this, like, some kind of a joke? He’s making every single one.” Kelly shouldn’t be so surprised though. After all, Sanders [once helped](https://twitter.com/CNN/status/691814538082152448 "undefined") his Brooklyn elementary school take home the borough championship. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4215369/bernie-sanders-basketball-new-hampshire-primary/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4215369/bernie-sanders-basketball-new-hampshire-primary/"},"headline":"Watch Bernie Sanders Shoot Hoops to Celebrate His New Hampshire Victory","datePublished":"2016-02-10T15:59:54.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:29:52.926Z","description":"\"Is this, like, some kind of a joke?
