President Biden, Vice President Harris and the Golden State Warriors were caught up in a chilling moment as the group snapped a photo during the team’s visit to the White House on Tuesday.
Biden and Harris appeared to be discussing how the photo should be taken. The president then got down on one knee and coach Steve Kerr is seen saying “no” and shaking his right hand to wave him off. The President smiled and the Vice President laughed as he got on one knee.
“I don’t do that,” Harris said with a smile.

Harris then moved between Warriors superstar Steph Curry and veteran Andre Iguodala when the photos were taken.
The embarrassing moment sparked numerous Twitter reactions.
The Warriors celebrated their last NBA championship after rejecting President Trump in 2017 and 2018.
“On behalf of the Warriors, I would like to thank President Biden and Vice President Harris for inviting me to the White House today to celebrate our championship from a year ago,” Kerr said at a White House news briefing. “It’s a great reminder of how fortunate we are Americans to live in a country where we can chase our dreams and enjoy the fruits of our labor and the celebrations of everyone around us.”

Kerr said he attended a White House roundtable on gun violence and gun safety, a topic Kerr has spoken openly about in the past.
“In the last hour or so, we’ve learned a lot about what this administration is doing to help create a safer environment in our country,” Kerr added. “Something very close to my heart. And it’s wonderful for me to learn a lot more than I knew.”
Curry, who was voted NBA Finals MVP for the first time, thanked the government for bringing WNBA star Brittney Griner back to the United States after her arrest at a Moscow airport in February.
“A great opportunity for us in the basketball community to thank President Biden and his staff for all their hard work and diligence in bringing Brittney Griner home,” Curry said Tuesday.
