Accidentally?

United States President Joe Biden had a moment of confusion when he forgot Klay Thompson's name during a visit by the Golden State Warriors team to the White House yesterday (Tuesday).

Biden started talking about the team's three biggest players, mentioning Steph Curry and Draymond Green, but couldn't remember the name of the third - Klay Thompson.

"The Big Three team of Steph (Kerry), Draymond (Green) and ... well, you guys are amazing. I swear to God that's what you are," Biden said in his speech. "The Golden State Warriors are always welcome in this White House," the president continued.

During his speech, Biden defined Kerry as "one of the great sportsmen of our time."

The president went on to say that the Warriors "reflect America" ​​with their style of play, displaying "constant movement, with individual freedom and personality coming together as one team that plays with joy, with a drive to be the best."

As you remember, Kerry and Golden State defeated Boston in the last NBA Finals and won their fourth title in eight years.

An invitation to the White House was rescinded by then-President Donald Trump in 2017 after Kerry said he would not attend if asked.

"This is something we never take for granted. Seven years ago we were here the last time we celebrated our first championship," said the big star of the team.

"Now we're back here celebrating the fourth championship. To have this opportunity to reflect on this achievement last year, to bring everyone together to celebrate it, and also to recognize that sport brings people from all walks of life together, and backgrounds to provide inspiration, love and togetherness. That's what our journey has been Last year. To have the opportunity to celebrate means a lot to us."

Kerry thanked Biden and his team for bringing WNBA star Brittany Griner back to the United States from Russian captivity. "It means a lot to know she's here and home safe with her family," Kerry said.
