What’s blue, gold and now residing inside The White House?
Why, President Barack Obama’s Golden State Warriors jersey of course.
The Warriors visited the Big Cheese himself on Thursday, and judging from the picture evidence, their trip went absolutely as you would expect.
Reigning MVP Stephen Curry, fresh off his 51-point destruction of the Washington Wizards, smiled seductively:

Obama told jokes:
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.

Many, many, many jokes:
Andre Iguodala, apparently, got super weird with POTUS:

Most importantly, though, the Warriors used their time at The White House to violate the NBA’s tampering policy and, very publicly, begin their courtship of free-agent-to-be POTUS:
