Stephen Curry shows off Obama jersey

Stephen Curry plans to give President Obama his own Golden State Warriors jersey on Thursday as the NBA champions visit the White House. 

The Warriors guard posted an image of the jersey on Twitter, saying Obama was “1 of 1” with the jersey giving nod to the 44th president. 
Curry has said that he has a “surreal” relationship with the president. Obama met with Curry when he was at the White House early last year as part of a malaria initiative. 
 
The pair also golfed together in August during Obama’s Martha’s Vineyard vacation, and the NBA MVP appeared in an ad late last year on behalf of the president’s bid to end gun violence.
 
The 2015 NBA champions are being honored at an event in the White House’s East Room on Thursday afternoon.
