It was a gloomy day in Washington DC. It was the perfect weather to curl up in bed and sip on a mug of hot chocolate. But the mood in the Golden State Warriors camp was quite the opposite. Curling up in bed was the last thing on their mind as they focused on nailing their fit for the day. The euphoric feeling engulfed them like a warm blanket and dusted off the cold winds that struck their body. They smiled from ear to ear and walked into the White House with their families by their sides.
The defending NBA champions were locked in to celebrate their triumph with the President and Vice President. As a day of celebration unfolded, the eyes of the NBA world were on the Warriors, but like always, their leader Stephen Curry stole the show.
Dressed in a blue suit paired with black shoes and a tie, Curry stood tall in the press room to deliver the briefing of the day. Moments later, he walked through the corridors of the White House with President Joe Biden by his side. They entered the East Room together, and the room erupted in applause. A series of speeches followed, making the audience clap and laugh through the afternoon. At the end of the event, Curry presented the leaders with a Warriors jersey.
