It's ALWAYS fun when a championship team gets to meet the President...

Warriors visit Obama during trip to DC

The Golden State Warriors visited former President Obama on Thursday shortly before their game against the Washington Wizards in the nation's capital.

The NBA team posed with Obama in a picture of the moment that surfaced on social media on late Thursday.

According to The Mercury News, the team’s full roster was in the picture with the exception of player Jonas Jerebko, who had reportedly been traveling at the time for the birth of his second kid.

The team reportedly met with Obama for nearly an hour.

I'm glad I read your post. I was just going to say the same.

President Obama earned my respect. Honestly. And then he sang and I fell in love. Lol.

Maybe he misses life in office so much it is making him gray-er - and making him want to come back? Perhaps as president of that shaddow government I've heard about? I'll take him any way I can get him back.

My son is 6'4". I'm used to finding them by looking for their heads above everyone else in a crowd.

I was doing the same just now - looking for the tallest, or one of the tallest, in the picture. On my tiny screen (phone) I was way off. Lol.
