President Obama: 'No One Can Outshoot Curry'

OAKLAND (CBS SF) -- President Obama gave the Golden State Warriors a shout out on Twitter Thursday morning after the team's Western Conference Finals win over the Houston Rockets.

The President was responding to another Twitter user about basketball when he mentioned that, "No one can outshoot Curry – maybe Korver if wide open."

The Warriors responded to Obama's tweet with a video clip of the President stating "Curry is the best shooter I've ever seen. I believe that." With the hashtag, #FactsOnly.

The Warriors shook off a slow start and sweated out a shaky finish in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals Wednesday night to close out the Rockets and set up a matchup with LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers beginning June 4.
