The Golden State Warriors still have champagne dripping from their jerseys after soundly beating the Cleveland Cavaliers in five games in the 2017 NBA Finals on Monday, June 12.
"Today is all about celebrating our championship", the Warriors' statement read. Several New England Patriots players declined to attend the Trump White House ceremony in April, though a significant amount of the team still made the trip.
There were erroneous reports Tuesday morning that the team had already unanimously voted against visiting the White House.
But, like two-time reigning MVP and new NBA Finals MVP Kevin Durant, they will consider taking less money to keep the core of the champion Golden State Warriors intact.

The Chicago Cubs went to White House just four days before former President Barack Obama left office following the team's World Series victory against the Cleveland Indians. "We have not received an invitation to the White House, but will make those decisions, when and if necessary", the Warriors said in a statement to Sports Illustrated, attempting to squash the swirling speculation. In addition, Warriors coach Steve Kerr has been fiercely critical of the President and a number of his proposed policies.
Kerr had this to say after Trump was elected U.S President late past year. "You don't see some of the qualities you talk about, the resilience, the ability to communicate, the compassion".
The prospect of big-name NBA stars refusing an audience with President Donald Trump has been the subject of some speculation among basketball fans throughout the playoffs.
"To be a great leader, there have to be some qualities in there", Kerr said.
