The Golden State Warriors are finally returning to the White House … courtesy of a one-of-a-kind gift to Vice President-elect Kamala Harris from NBA superstar Stephen Curry!!!
The Oakland native and HUGE Warriors fan is set to become the 49th — and first female — VP in the history of the United States on Wednesday … and Curry came through with an unforgettable present that’ll look reaaaally good hanging up in Harris’ White House office.
The 3-time NBA champ surprised Harris with a video prior to Wednesday’s inauguration … presenting her with her very own #49 Warriors jersey with a “Madame VP” nameplate and an autographed message from Curry.

Of course, the Warriors’ recent championship teams famously boycotted visiting the 1600 Penn during Donald Trump‘s presidency … so it’ll most likely be the first time any sort of positivity about the Dubs has entered the White House in a LONG time.
“Madame Vice President, I’m not saying you’ve got to put this up in your office at the White House, but it probably would be a good idea,” Curry said in the video.
“Congratulations! Blazing your own path, we are all rooting and supporting you the whole way.”
Worth noting — the Dubs have recently moved to San Francisco, but are paying homage to their former home of Oakland with a special City Edition jersey this season … which is what Harris received.
The soon-to-be VP pretty much freaked out in excitement over the gesture … saying, “This means so much to me, you guys.”
Curry also showed love for Harris following the results of the election in November … sending her an autographed Curry #30 jersey. So, yeah, she may need a bigger closet just for her Dubs merch.

Harris continued … “I will proudly, proudly display this in the office of the Vice President of the United States, an office I am about to occupy and I cannot thank you enough and you always bring such joy and pride to me, as a daughter of Oakland.”
