WASHINGTON, D.C. - President Barack Obama sashayed to a podium in the East Room on Thursday afternoon and said he was disappointed Riley Curry didn’t join the Warriors on their championship tour of the White House.

“It is rare to be in the presence of guys from the greatest team in NBA history,” Obama said, “so we’re pretty lucky today, because we’ve got one of those players in the house: Steve Kerr, from the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls.
