Golden State Warriors refuse to visit White House after winning NBA title: reports

The NBA champion Golden State Warriors unanimously agreed to skip the customary White House visit, according to reports, although the team hasn’t yet commented.
The Warriors claimed their second title in three seasons Monday night with a 129-120 Game 5 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, their opponent in three straight NBA Finals appearances.
But the team, led by superstars Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, unanimously decided not to accept congratulations from President Donald Trump.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr has ripped Trump as a “blowhard” and “ill-suited” for the office, and player David West said the president was a poor role model.
“All the tactics that he used to get elected are the very things that someone like me, who works with youth on a consistent basis, are the things that we try to talk our young folks out of being,” West said. “We try to talk our young people out of being bullies. We try to talk our young men out of disrespecting women. We try to talk our young people into being accepting of other people’s opinions and other people’s walks of life.”
“He is the complete opposite of all of that,” West added.
