The Golden State Warriors may not be very good at the moment this season, but they were on top of the world after they won yet another NBA championship last season.
On Tuesday, the Warriors celebrated that title by visiting President Biden, and Vice President Harris at the White House. The Warriors celebrated their latest NBA championship after spurning President Trump in 2017 and 2018.
At one point, star player Andrew Wiggins could be seen having his eyes on something else as fans caught him checking out the Vice President from behind.
Among the highlights was Stephen Curry, who was voted as the NBA Finals MVP for the first time, thanking the administration for getting WNBA star Brittney Griner back to the United States after her February arrest at a Moscow airport.
“A great opportunity for us from the basketball community to thank President Biden and his staff for all their hard work and diligence on getting Brittney Griner home,” Curry said Tuesday.
“It means a lot to know that she’s here, at home safe with her family. And all the work that went on behind the scenes to make that a reality.”
Head coach Steve Kerr said he participated in a roundtable discussion at the White House about gun violence and gun safety, a topic Kerr has been outspoken about in the past.
“Over the last hour or so, we learned a lot about what this administration is doing to help create a safer environment in our country,” Kerr added. “Something that’s very close to my heart. And it’s wonderful for me to learn a lot more than I knew.”
Overall, it was a great day.
