Based on at least one report, from CNBC, the Warriors might skip the traditional trip to the White House to celebrate Monday night's NBA Finals-clinching victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Golden State Warriors beat the Cleveland Cavaliers to regain the NBA Championship with a 4-1 series win.
Warriors' statement: "We have not received an invitation to the White House, but will make those decisions when and if necessary". "We will make those decisions when and if needed", a team spokesman wrote in an email Tuesday morning.
Some members of the Super Bowl-champion New England Patriots refused their White House visit and ceremony earlier this year. And David West said this of Trump back in January.

Kerr has called Donald Trump a "blowhard" and "ill-suited" to be president. Winning sports teams, even though they expect it and usually do get it, still have to be formally invited to the White House to meet the President. And as Warriors small forward Andre Iguodala said to USA TODAY Sports heading into Game 5, there's a chance the invite will never come. "They're going to be the highest favourite we've ever had going into a season, any team in any sport", Jeff Serman, an odds maker at the Westgate SuperBook, was quoted as saying by ESPN.
"Somebody asked me about it a couple months ago, a hypothetical, if a championship were to happen, what would I do", Curry said.
". All I know is I personally will do the right thing for me".
"I think being a bully doesn't work today, or at least it doesn't work coaching. 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, '" Iguodala said.
