President Obama to Honor 2015 NBA Champion Warriors at White House Visit

The Golden State Warriors are chasing the 72-10 win-loss record by the Chicago Bulls back in the 1995-1996 season, and that fact was not lost on Obama.

Branding their game “revolutionary”, he beamed as he met the 2015 National Basketball Association winners on Thursday at the White House, and said: ‘This really is one of the best that we’ve ever seen’.

Two other Australian basketball players, Patty Mills and Aron Baynes, visited a year ago after the San Antonio Spurs’ 2014 championship.

President Obama waits patiently for Stephen Curry to put his club away during a golf outing last summer on the island of Martha’s Vineyard.

Obama recognized guard Stephen Curry, forward Draymond Green, power forward Harrison Barnes, center Andrew Bogut, guard Andre Iguodala and forward David Lee for their skills, and for what they’ve done for the Bay Area community, including mentoring young men through the president’s My Brother’s Keeper initiative.

“It’s lovely to watch when they’re working on all cylinders”, Obama said during a ceremony at the White House.

The NBA tweeted photos of the Warriors arriving for the honor.

But then he knocked them down by mentioning the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls team, which head coach Steve Kerr was a part of. He practically knows his way around the place and is telling teammates to relax, that Obama is “a normal guy that’s very approachable”.

Obama ultimately showed off his shooting form as Kerr noted that after his final year in office, Obama would become a free agent. “I’m ready to go”, Obama, quickly taking up the offer to be a Warrior, joked. He came one 3 short of tying the single-game record, and though it was on his mind, he didn’t start popping shots just to reach it as the game got out of hand. You racked up a great record. “We want you as soon as your duties are done here in the White House, we’d like you to be the leader of Dub Nation”.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A basketball enthusiast, President Barack Obama applauded the Golden State Warriors on Thursday and marveled at how they are revolutionizing professional basketball with what he described as a “small-ball nuclear lineup” that specializes in great shooting and passing.
