The Villanova men's basketball team visited the White House Tuesday to celebrate their 2016 national championship, which was won with one of the greatest shots in title game history. With 4.7 seconds remaining in a tie game against North Carolina, Villanova went the length of the court and guard Ryan Arcidiacono found an open Kris Jenkins, who drilled a deep game-winner as the buzzer sounded. 

President Barack Obama gave Jenkins a shoutout for his "good shot," and threw a bit of shade at TNT analyst Charles Barkley for his hilarious reaction.   

"That was a good shot. It was like a Christian Laettner shot. It was like a Jimmy V running up and down the court shot. Charles Barkley apparently jumped out of his seat, which he doesn't do very often these days."

Barkley, of course, lost his mind like everyone else watching the game when Jenkins' shot dropped.
