The Steph Curry inspired Warriors beat Cleveland Cavaliers in last year's NBA finals.
They are off to a historically strong start in their quest to defend their title, sporting a 45-4 record so far this season and Obama called their game 'revolutionary'."This really is one of the best that we've ever seen," the President said.He also poked fun at Warriors sharpshooting guard Steph Curry 'clowning' on the court.
"Steph's a pretty good shooter," Obama said "For those of you that watched the game against the Wizards last night, he was - to use a slang phrase - he was "clowning'."
Obama then raised his fists and jumped up and down in a circle to demonstrate, mimicking what Curry did as he scored 51 points and a career-tying 11 three-pointers against Washington Wizzards. "Let's face it, the Warriors are in the middle of a very special two-year run," Obama continued his praise for the team.
"Folks are saying that they are revolutionizing basketball... they're so good that they seem to be just breaking the game itself."I don't play anymore but I still know a little bit about basketball and this really is one of the best that we've ever seen.
"Great shooting, great passing, a small ball nuclear line-up... it's almost not fair. And they play not just well but they play well together."They play as a team the way basketball is supposed to be played. It's beautiful to watch when they're working on all cylinders."
The team presented Obama with the obligatory No. 44 team jersey, as he is the nation's 44th president and Warriors coach Steve Kerr invited him to join the team as 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
