Outside of the White House Correspondents' Dinner, few better opportunities exist for a sitting president to make attempts at hysterical one-liners than when a sporting titlist pays a visit.

With the defending NBA champion Golden State Warriors dropping by to see Barack Obama on Thursday, the president couldn't help but taking a dig at the Dubs' record-book pursuit of his beloved 1995-96 Chicago Bulls.

After mimicking Stephen Curry's "clowning", Obama was presented with a Warriors jersey by head coach Steve Kerr, who asked the outgoing commander-in-chief to consider a job as "leader of Dub Nation."

Obama described the Warriors as a ''small-ball nuclear lineup" and called the them one of the best teams ''we've ever seen.''

Curry and wife Ayesha were also able to get in some sightseeing inside the famed walls.
