Bernie Sanders celebrated his New Hampshire victory Tuesday night by shooting some hoops in the gym where his election night party was being held — and he wasn't half bad. The 74-year-old Vermont senator made all his baskets, to the amazement of those looking on.

"Is this some kind of a joke? How is he making every single one?" one Fox News commentator marveled while watching the footage.

The other commentator had an answer ready for her: "He's from Brooklyn."
