The defending NBA champion Golden State Warriors are in Washington DC today to visit President Barack Obama, as is customary for any championship team in a major sport. Of course, a known Chicago Bulls fan in the POTUS went out of his way to crack a small joke.
President Obama welcomed a player from the greatest team in NBA history. Then said it was great to have ex-Bulls G Steve Kerr there.

Needless to say, it looks like Steph Curry and his teammates enjoyed their day in the nation’s capital.
