The Mercury News ^ | June 14, 2017 | Anthony Slater

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.”

Notice the date: June 14, 2017. The story about Curry and a possible WH visit was all over the news Friday and Saturday, but the story was being reported as if everything relevant happened last week. Actually, Curry started running his mouth about not visiting the WH immediately after the Warriors won the NBA championship in June.

And Warriors Coach Steve Kerr had been criticizing Trump well before that. Then Kevin Durant got some shots at Trump in well before this past Friday.

Just making point here that Curry, Kerr and Durant have mouthing off in the press about Trump and a WH visit for months, for months before Trump said a single word about it or the NFL protests. They've been drawing attention to themselves all that time, but the story is being presented now by many sources as if Trump withdrew the WH invitation based on what happened last week only.

The Warriors were mouthing off long before any WH invitation was ever extended.

I don’t know who Stephen CUrry is. On a side note, when Obama was president I wouldn’t have gone to the WH if invited.

Yeah, that's exactly the attitude you had, and why President Trump disinvited you, you arrogant, overpaid, racist POS.

NO ONE who hates our country should be invited to the White House...

Stephen Curry should sit in his mansion and 'feel sorry' for black people because all their problems are caused by other races...yeah, right. None of the violence, murders, broken families, high unemployment, gangs, murder rates, etc etc etc are their fault.

The black community is like Hillary - pointing the finger at everyone but themselves. Nothing's Hillary's fault. Nothing's the 'black community's fault.

Have a nice pity party Stephen Curry... you and Hillary believe your own excuses. Must be nice to be that delusional.

It’s a case of Obama withdrawal.

Being the spoiled brat, attention whores that they are, Curry and his coach and some teammates started mouthing off last June about whether they'd accept an invitation that had not even been extended.

Then the press made a huge, anti-Trump story of it after Trump said Friday night that Curry was not invited. If the Warriors ever were officially invited, it was many weeks after they started their mouthing off in the press.

Yep, Curry and the Warriors might do for the NBA what Kapernick and pals did for the NFL.

Who cares about any of these spoiled brats? What do they have to do with anyone else’s personal happiness?

Not to worry. I'm pretty sure that ship has sailed.
