Recently, Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon sat down with KGW’s Orlando Sanchez to discuss Portland Trail Blazers basketball on the network’s “3-On-3 Blazers” Podcast. In the interview, Wyden reveals how he really wanted to play in the NBA growing up, and he kept up his basketball skills after taking office.
“With respect to the alleged shooting contest, it took place in the House,” Wyden recalled. “There were 50 shots in the contest. I missed the first one, ran the next 24, missed another one, ran like another 20-some. I made 47 out of 50 [free throws],” said Wyden.
