Warriors Say They Haven't Made Decision on Visiting Donald Trump White House
The Golden State Warriors declined to commit to whether or not they'll visit the White House following their 2017 NBA Finals victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
"Today is all about celebrating our championship," the Warriors said in a statement Tuesday. "We have not received an invitation to the White House, but will make those decisions when and if necessary."
Warriors majority owner Joe Lacob echoed a similar sentiment when asked the question on ESPN'sย First Takeย (at the 4:10 mark of the video below):

The Warriors would be the first NBA champions to travel to Washington since President Donald Trump took office. The Cleveland Cavaliersย met withย President Barack Obama in November 2016, two days after the 2016 presidential elections.
Following the New England Patriots' Super Bowl LI victory over the Atlanta Falcons, many players, including quarterback Tom Brady,ย chose to skipย the event.
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr and point guard Stephen Curry have both voiced criticism of President Trump in the past.
In November, Kerr offered his take immediately after the election, per theย San Jose Mercury News' Anthony Slater:
Kerrย calledย Trump "ill-suited" for the office of the presidency in February as well.
Responding to Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank's comments that month that Trump is an "asset" to the United States, Curryย said, "I agree with that descriptionย if you remove the 'et.'"
