      Congratulating the Golden State Warriors for their historic 
   championship victory in the 2017 National Basketball Association 
                                Finals.

Whereas, on June 12, 2017, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Cleveland 
        Cavaliers by a score of 129-120 in an extraordinary game 5 at Oracle 
        Arena in Oakland, California, to win the 2017 National Basketball 
        Association (referred to in the preamble as the ``NBA'') Finals;
Whereas the Golden State Warriors captured their second championship in 3 years, 
        and their fifth championship in franchise history;
Whereas the 2017 championship victory marks the first time a Bay Area 
        professional sports team has clinched a championship title at home in 43 
        years;
Whereas in 2017 the Golden State Warriors had the NBA's best regular-season 
        record with 67 wins, capping an extraordinary 3-year run, during which 
        the Warriors won a record-setting 207 regular season games;
Whereas the Golden State Warriors finished the post-season 16-1, which 
        constitutes the best post-season record in the 71-year history of the 
        NBA;
Whereas every single member of the 2016-2017 Golden State Warriors team 
        contributed to this championship, including Matt Barnes, Ian Clark, 
        Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala, Damian 
        Jones, Shaun Livingston, Kevon Looney, James Michael McAdoo, Patrick 
        McCaw, JaVale McGee, ZaZa Pachulia, Klay Thompson, and David West;
Whereas Kevin Durant became just the sixth player to score 30 or more points in 
        each game of a championship round, and was named Most Valuable Player of 
        the NBA Finals;
Whereas Steve Kerr, Mike Brown, and the entire team of coaches and staff have 
        been instrumental in developing the Golden State Warriors' dynamic and 
        record-setting style of play, and have fostered a positive, selfless 
        team spirit;
Whereas Joe Lacob and Peter Guber have built one of the most exciting and high-
        performing franchises in NBA history;
Whereas the dedicated fan base of Golden State Warriors has offered unrelenting, 
        passionate support to the team; and
Whereas, both on and off the court, the Golden State Warriors are an immense 
        source of pride for the Bay Area and the entire Golden State Warrior fan 
        base: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) congratulates the Golden State Warriors for winning the 
        2017 National Basketball Association Finals;
            (2) recognizes the historic achievements of all the 
        players, coaches, and staff who contributed to the 2016-2017 
        season; and
            (3) celebrates the selfless teamwork and extraordinary 
        character, pride, determination, and hard-work of the Golden 
        State Warriors.
