Obama Hangs With The Golden State Warriors At The White House

The Golden State Warriors met President Barack Obama at the White House on Thursday, where they celebrated the team's 2015 NBA championship. 

The president greeted star point guard Stephen Curry and the rest of the team in the East Room, accepting his own Warriors jersey and joking about the budding stardom of Curry's 3-year-old daughter Riley , who stole the show in a post-game interview with her dad last year.

"I was hoping Riley Curry would be here today to share the podium, but I guess I'll have to get media training some other day," Obama said.

Obama also addressed assistant coach Luke Walton, who stepped up while the Warriors' head coach, Steve Kerr, recovered from back surgery.

"You accomplished big things, you racked up a great record and you don't get enough credit," Obama said with a smile. "I can't imagine how that feels."

The Warriors defeated the Washington Wizards in an impressive 134-121 performance on Wednesday night.
