The Kansas Jayhawks pulled off the biggest comeback in NCAA Championship history to seal their fourth title in college history. NBA legends, current NBA Stars, and celebrities congratulated the Jayhawks on their victory. One of them included former president Barack Obama, who threw in a cheeky compliment as well.

Obama congratulated the Jayhawks on Twitter after the massive victory. He wrote, “Congratulations to the @KUHoops team on winning the national championship. This team was fun to watch, and they earned their first title since 2008 (which was a pretty good year).”

This was in reference to the last time Kansas won the NCAA title, but that wasn’t just it.

Incidentally, 2008 was also the year Obama got elected as president. Obama was a massive underdog, and he overcame the odds to become the President. He was also the first African-American President of the United States of America.
