OAKLAND — In exit interviews on Wednesday afternoon, available Warriors reiterated that the team hasn’t had an official discussion about whether or not they will go to the White House, if invited, as is custom for championship-winning sports teams.

But perhaps the face of the franchise, Stephen Curry, made it pretty clear that he doesn’t have an interest in visiting Donald Trump.

“Somebody asked me about it a couple months ago, a hypothetical, if a championship were to happen: ‘What would I do?'” Curry said. “I think I answered that I wouldn’t go. I still feel like that today.”

I would suggest he pay a visit to the South side of Chicago. Maybe then he could get a picture of the real problem. I also suggest he visit after 4:00PM, that is when his homies start to stir.

On a side note, when Obama was president I wouldn’t have gone to the WH if invited.

A number didn't.

It’s a case of Obama withdrawal.

Probably true for a good number of folks.

There is a time and place for everything. These pampered superstars have poor judgement. Stephe Curry can go to he!! as far as I’m concerned.

I think Trump should should stop the tradition of honoring Professional sport teams and stat a new tradition of honoring Vets.
Why honor a bunch of over paid millionaires? It will also stop the press from highlighting who is not going. Happened under Obama too....

Sounds like a “I know you are, but what am I?” response.

A fact overlooked by the lamestreams. Curry started this with Trump. Trump fired back.

Funny how when Obama was president, if someone didn’t want to go to the WH that was disrespectful and the leftist media made a big deal of it. But when a little pissant Black, who has done nothing but play a kids game (and played it well) does it, it is not disrespect but the fault of the President. That’s just another example of the bias of the leftist media. And, why the hell should I care what some black athlete thinks any more that I do about what some homeless person in the street thinks. Athletes are just like actors, some good at what they do, but they deserve no more respect or attention to their ideas than to anyone elses.

Yep, and I guess the question is, are the lamestreams that incompetent or that dishonest, or both.

Some of both I'd guess, but with a bigger portion of dishonest and trying to make Trump look bad, when actually Curry and the Warriors acted like self-important, spoiled little brats starting back in June.

For decades, I have been against the “tradition” of victorious pro sports entertainers being paraded for photo ops at the White House. The PEOPLE’S HOUSE should not be pimped out to generate free PR for whichever clown holds office, and tax-payer funded publicity for mega-wealthy pro sports moghuls and the player-thugs they exploit. Anything that deflates their wallets and egos = bwahahaha.
