Why Golden State Warriors could skip Donald Trump White House visit
NBA champions say no decision has been made regarding Washington trip but president has been criticised by members of the franchise before
The Golden State Warriors say they have made no decision regarding a visit to President Donald Trump at the White House.
But if previous comments made by members of the NBA champions are anything to go by, the signs suggest they may decline any invitation were it to be offered.
Warriors small forward Andre Iguodala believes such an offer may not even be extended from Washington.
“Maybe [Trump] doesn’t [invite us] and we don’t go, or we don’t say anything and make a big deal of it, and he doesn’t make a big deal of it and we go our separate ways,” Iguodala told USA Today going into game five of his side’s NBA Finals series against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
“Y’all might write about it. I might call him and say, ‘If they ask, just say our schedules conflicted’. And then if y’all write something, we’ll say, ‘Fake News’.”
