And unlikely that the rest of the Golden State Warriors will either. Not much of a surprise for anyone that follows Steve Kerr on Twitter, who has been very vocal in his opposition to Trump.

Keep in mind that no official invite has yet been extended from the White House, as is usually the tradition.

"Nah, I won't do that," said Durant, the 2017 NBA Finals MVP. "I don't respect who's in office right now."

"I don't agree with what he agrees with, so my voice is going to be heard by not doing that," said Durant, who said it wasn't an organizational decision. "That's just me personally, but if I know my guys well enough, they'll all agree with me."

 

[uncelestial]

Good for him! And for the rest of GSW. Proud of my team.

 

[Gobias]

I don't think there's a single team in the NBA that would ever visit the White House in the next 4-8 years

 

[Siegcram]

Not like Trump is going to invite a bunch of in-shape men with huge hands anyway.

 

[capitalCORN]

Quelle surprise.

 

[Elegant Weapon]

F'n Durant saying something that makes me respect him....


I fucks with Kerr and know he and most of his players naturally hate Trump, as anyone with half a brain would.

 

[wenis]

Not like Trump is going to invite a bunch of in-shape men with huge hands anyway.

Heh.

The handshakes would've been a workout for trump. Probably give him a heart attack.

 

[ponpo]

Trump be like

 

[SliceSabre]

No surprise there, why visit a man who hates your people just to give him a photo op so he can say "Look! See!? I love the blacks!"

 

[gamz]

Obviously.

 

[FreeMufasa]

Boss stays boss

 

[joe2187]

Incoming tweet about the failing golden state warrirors

Haha! Perfect.

 

[GrapeApes]

And they mostly black? Trump's not inviting NBA teams in his term. The most you'll see are some executives from teams.

[Transistor]

I miss that man so much

 

[RootCause]

Like KD even more now. Hope the team skips too.

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

Draymond will definitely skip. As will Steph. Honestly I think this will be a case where since there's solidarity from the top everyone will skip out on it.

 

[Amory]

I'd imagine Trump is quietly going to stop inviting championship teams to the white house.

Starting with the warriors.

NBA for sure.

NFL though...

He can just invite the current WWE Champion after Wrestlemania.

 

[Lebron]

Trump will just say he's decided not to invite them to save face.

 

[theechrisfox]

Nah. Plenty of NBA owners are cozy with comrade cheeto and would love to visit the WH for some public a2m. Dan Gilbert, James Dolan, and Betsy Devos' family owns the Orlando Magic.

 

[spindashing]

I don't know about that one.

 

[Bernbaum]

Of course that's what he'll do. He may not even make a statement. The 2017-2018 will tip off no there was never any mention of an invitation or visit.

 

[enzo_gt]

Trump be like

Realistically, this is all we need to get Trump out. The Lil B curse is all powerful.

 

[LiK]

Trump will just say he's decided not to invite them to save face.

Hey Lebron!

Yea, Trump will do that.

 

[FTF]

Good. I wouldn't either and I hope Kerr and the whole team don't go.

 

[oddj0b]

One millionaire doesn't respect another millionaire, figures. Ok KD you only just went to the richest ball club...

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Excellent.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

I don't know about that one.

LOL.

 

[I H8 Memes]

I bet you Brady and Belichick would still go.

 

[Raylan Targaryen]

I don't think there's a single team in the NBA that would ever visit the White House in the next 4-8 years

Utah maybe?

 

[Heshinsi]

One millionaire doesn't respect another millionaire, figures. Ok KD you only just went to the richest ball club...

What's that have to do with the White House being occupied by a Nazi sympathiser?

 

[Donos]

I don't know about that one.

Haha nice.

 

[Ricky_R]

I don't know about that one.

Hahah

 

[reKon]

I bet you Brady and Belichick would still go.

Wifey would say that Brady had another family commitment to attend

 

[Mr. X]

Trump wasn't inviting that many black men into his house anyway.

 

[Kettch]

Was disappointed to see most of the Cubs go, and Maddon's "respect the office" bullshit.

Good on the Warriors.

 

[GodofWine]

I'd imagine Trump is quietly going to stop inviting championship teams to the white house.

Starting with the warriors.

QUIETLY, HA!!

He will LOUDLY "FIRE TEAMS FROM ATTENDING THE WHITEHOUSE", because he has so much work to do or something, then he'll watch fox news and tweet.

 

[ZedLeppelin006]

Expected but still great to see.

 

[Kusagari]

I don't know about that one.

Jinder cutting his generic anti-American promo on Trump would be the greatest thing in history.

 

[neorej]

"So divisive. This is what the alt left stands for. RUDE!"

 

[Fatalah]

He doesn't want to go because he's heard it's a dump. Fake news!

 

[Slayven]

I don't think there's a single team in the NBA that would ever visit the White House in the next 4-8 years

The Washington Generals would

 

[illmatic22]

I don't know about that one.

Having a Brown man as WWE Champion for once is nice to see.

 

[Zertez]

Thought GS and most other teams already said they wouldn't visit the WH.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

One millionaire doesn't respect another millionaire, figures. Ok KD you only just went to the richest ball club...

I can't wait to read salty comments from Trump supporters who are going to diss KD/Warriors. Even better, complain about players voicing out their political beliefs, especially when it's at odds with theirs.

 

[Syf]

Good, hope the whole team declines.

 

[Kill Your Masters]

Nah. Plenty of NBA owners are cozy with comrade cheeto and would love to visit the WH for some public a2m. Dan Gilbert, James Dolan, and Betsy Devos' family owns the Orlando Magic.

Any pro Trump owners that have a shot at the title though? (No idea seriously) Also I believe most players would take a pass especially after last week.

I don't know about that one.

Ayyy

This is what happens when you have too much free time in the off season imo, seeing the president was an automatic sign of gratitude until people like KD "digest" and think about it all. Shake the damn presidents hand dude 🤚
