President Obama picks Warriors to win NBA title because of Kevin Durant

President Obama isn't letting the Golden State Warriors' 29-point opening night beatdown at the hands of the San Antonio Spurs get in the way of his pick to win the NBA title.

The commander in chief is sticking with the Dubs.

"I'm going to go with the Warriors just because (of Kevin) Durant, that addition. I think they've got too much firepower," Obama said Friday morning on Sirius XM's Shade 45. "Although they just got spanked in their first game, so it will take them a while to figure stuff out."

Obama also picked the New England Patriots to be Super Bowl champs, predicting a Pats-Seattle Seahawks rematch.
