                         GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS

  (Ms. LEE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. LEE. Mr. Speaker, the night before last, with the whole world 
watching, my home team, the Golden State Warriors, brought the O'Brien 
Trophy back to Oakland.
  The Warriors, led by NBA MVP Stephen Curry, showed the power of 
persistence and teamwork both on and off the court.
  The finals against the well-matched and talented Cleveland Cavaliers 
were a thrill to watch. These games were basketball at its best, with 
both teams showing real passion on the court.
  It has been 40 years since Oakland last brought home the 
championship, and throughout this long journey, Warrior fans have 
stayed loyal and faithful.
  Thank you to the Warriors team for making our dreams of another 
championship a reality. I have no doubt that this remarkable team will 
go down in Oakland's history. Thank you to head coach Steve Kerr, 
Stephen Curry, Clay Thompson, finals MVP Andre Iguodala, and all of the 
talented players who brought this championship home.
  I can't wait to celebrate this win with all the Warriors fans and 
players at the victory parade tomorrow morning in Oakland.
  Go Warriors. Go Oakland. Go Dub Nation.
