National Basketball Association roundup: Curry hits 11 threes, scores 51

“Great shooting, great passing, a small-ball “nuclear lineup” – it’s nearly not fair”.

“For those of you that watched the game against the Wizards last night, he was – to use a slang phrase – he was “clowning'”. I was kind of searching but not trying to force where the game was”, he said. “Draymond is also known to add a few more words that I can not repeat”.

Instead, Obama implied Warriors coach Steve Kerr was on the best team, when he played for the 1995-1996 Chicago Bulls. “We believe very strongly there needs to be greater measures, so how often am I going to get the chance to thank the president for something that he’s working on?” I just hope that when I meet them, I don’t stumble on my words, because I get too nervous.

Obama is a big basketball fan and played golf with Curry and his father, former NBA standout Dell Curry, last August while on vacation.

This was not just any room, but the East Room of the White House – a room with as much global history as classic elegance. Now the Warriors team he coaches is a threat to both marks.

Curry’s trailblazing season continued at the Verizon Center on Wednesday as he sank 11 of 16 efforts from beyond the arc in the Warriors’ 134-121 triumph, stretching their winning streak to eight matches.

He also poked fun at Klay Thompson’s “free spirit” reputation and singled out assistant coach Luke Walton for his work as interim head coach while Kerr was on leave of absence recovering from complications in the wake of back surgery. “So we don’t know if you have anything lined up yet, but …”

“The point is, this is a great basketball team, but it’s a great organization, it’s a great culture”, he explained. You racked up a great record.

‘Consider this a symbol of an offer that’s coming, ‘ Kerr said as he presented Obama with the jersey and the president demonstrated his shooting form.

Obama wasn’t able to keep to the theme of the Warriors the entire speech, making sure to fit in a comment about his hometown team. Kerr noted that Obama would be a free agent at the end of the year.

Kerr said recognition from the president meant a lot: “We’re thankful for this day and this opportunity”.
