     CELEBRATING A NEW AMERICAN DYNASTY, THE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS

  (Ms. PELOSI asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. PELOSI. Mr. Speaker, I am very delighted to join my colleague 
from the bay area, Congresswoman Barbara Lee, in wearing the blue and 
the gold to celebrate the new American dynasty, the Golden State 
Warriors.
  On Friday, as you probably know, the Warriors swept the great team, 
the Cleveland Cavaliers, led by LeBron James--what a magnificent 
athlete--making the victory all the more sweet to secure the 2018 NBA 
championship, the Warriors' third title in 4 years.
  This historic achievement secures Golden State's position as not only 
the best team in the sport, but as an extraordinary force in ushering 
in a new era of professional basketball and transforming the future of 
the sport.
  The Golden State Warriors are distinguished by both their talent and 
their extraordinary teamwork. The 2018 Warriors played with exceptional 
chemistry and intuitive brilliance on the court, dazzling America with 
their true strength in numbers
  Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, MVP twice in a row Kevin 
Durant, played with extraordinary skill, strength, and determination, 
each making history in their own way.

  Golden State continues to make the bay area and America proud with 
their leadership, both on and off the court. Led by the extraordinary 
Coach Kerr--indestructible, he is--the Warriors honor our American 
values of equality, fairness, and respect for all with their words and 
their actions.
  It gives me great pride to be a member of Dub Nation. Right, 
Congresswoman Lee? We are members of Dub Nation, and I extend my 
invitation to the Warriors. Joining Congresswoman Lee, who represents 
Oakland, we join in extending an invitation to the Warriors to once 
more come to the Capitol to celebrate this historic accomplishment.
  On behalf of San Francisco, I extend well-deserved congratulations to 
the Golden State Warriors.
