A-Rod is truly a golden boy!

MLB legend Alex Rodriguez showed on Sunday that he is not only talented in baseball, but also has a game when it comes to basketball. And he did it in such a glorious way, hitting a half-court shot to land a smooth $10,000 on the Bucknell students.

Rodriguez received an invitation to take halftime shots of a basketball game between Bucknell and the army. 84-53 decision. A-Rod launched a high arcing shot, robbing the bank from the backboard, entering the net, leading to a full roar from Bucknell students.

The 14th All-Star attended Bucknell to talk about his brand jump platform, with the company’s co-founders Mark Roar and Geordy Layer being alumni of the school. The layers are also trustees.

After all, I’ve always liked Alex Rodriguez, a boy from Miami.
