*President Barack Obama and his family watched Game 7 of the NBA Championship from Air Force One last night, and stayed on the plane to continue watching the final minutes after the aircraft landed at Joint Base Andrews.
The First Family was returning from Yosemite Valley, California, after a trip to Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico and Yosemite National Park in California to encourage more people to appreciate and visit national parks.
Air Force One touched down at Andrews at 10:19 p.m., with less than two minutes remaining in the deciding game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors.
At 10:37 p.m., moments after LeBron James and the Cavaliers finally brought a championship home to Cleveland, President Obama did his jog down the stairs of Air Force One followed by daughters, Malia and Sasha, and first lady Michelle Obama.

About an hour later, Obama tweeted his congrats to LeBron and the Cavs:
What a game and what a series for the @Cavs. Happy to see @KingJames bring it home for Cleveland!
