President Obama Hosts 2015 NBA Champions The Warriors

 

Barack Obama on Thursday, February, 4 hosted the winners of the 2015 NBA title, the Golden State Warrior at the White House.

The Warriors defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers in last year’s NBA finals to win their first championship for 40 years. They have made a record start in their bid to retain the crown with 45 wins and only four defeats so far this season and the U.S president called their game 'revolutionary'.

Obama tried to mimic some of Curry's jumping up and down on the court when he's playing particularly well, which Curry did on Wednesday night when he scored 51 points in a 134-121 victory over the Washington Wizards.

"He was clowning," Obama said.

 “To think that you would be the president, that’s one of those goals where it’s like playing in the NBA. It’s so far-fetched that you don’t know how you’re going to get there,” said Green, a 25-year-old power forward. “So you can dream of it, you can believe it, but what’s the odd of it really happening?

The team presented Obama with the obligatory No. 44 team jersey, since he is the nation's 44th president. Kerr noted that Obama would be a free agent at the end of the year.

"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, a big Chicago Bulls fan, couldn't help but reference the great Bulls teams from the 1990s. He jokingly told the Warriors at the beginning of the ceremony that it's rare to be in the presence of guys who are part of one of the greatest teams in NBA history.
