Obama honors Warriors, jokes that his Bulls are still the best

Steph Curry became the first player in National Basketball Association history to make 11 or more three-pointers in a game on two occasions when he hit 11 in a 134-121 win over the Washington Wizards.

Golden State Warriors head basketball coach Steve Kerr listens as President Barack Obama speaks in the East Room of the White House, in Washington, Thursday, Feb. 4, 2016, during a ceremony to honor the 2015 NBA Champion Golden State Warriors basketball team.

“Dub Nation is well represented here”, President Barack Obama has said, noting that the Golden State Warriors fans House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, and Representative Kevin McCarthy (R-Ca) were in present in the GSW’s memorable moment.

The members of the Golden State Warriors celebrate after winning the NBA Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers in Cleveland, Wednesday, June 17, 2015.

‘Great shooting, great passing, a small ball nuclear line-up…it’s nearly not fair.

It was the latest success for the team, which has gone from strength to strength under coach Steve Kerr, earning the 2015 title and a visit to the White House.

Obama is a basketball enthusiast who said at a White House reception that the Warriors are one of the best teams “we’ve ever seen”.

President Barack Obama remarked that the Warriors and he have followed very similar paths, offering some humor as he compared their path to that of his own administration.

“So, we don’t know if you have anything lined up yet”, Kerr, presenting Obama with a Warriors singlet with the number 44, signifying Obama’s position as the 44th president of the United States, said. “Either way, he’s got the record”.

Obama also mentioned the Warriors accolades off the court, which includes partnering with organisations such as “My Brother’s Keeper”, an initiative aimed at helping boys and young men of color.

Kerr also tentatively offered him a job since the president’s term in office is ending soon and he’s about to be a “free agent”.
