President Biden welcomed the Golden State Warriors to the White House to celebrate their 2022 NBA championship, marking their return to the building for the first time since a high-profile clash with Trump
“Today, the Golden State Warriors are known as one of the most successful franchises in basketball and all of sport. Four NBA titles, six finals in the last eight seasons. That ain’t bad, man. A statline of a dynasty but the last couple of years are pretty tough,” Biden said in remarks from the East Room. “They struggled in 2020, missed the playoffs in ’21, and critics wonder this team was gone for good as a championship team.” “But, fellas,” Biden added, smiling. “I know what it feels like.
” “And I think just the vibe is obviously different in the sense of accepting people from different walks, different backgrounds and actually walking that walk,” he added. In June 2022, the Warriors defeated the Boston Celtics 103-90 to claim their fourth NBA championship in the last eight seasons. The victory gave the trio of Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green their fourth title together – all under head coach Steve Kerr – adding to their championships from 2015, 2017 and 2018.
