As to skepticism regarding whether the Warriors had time to unanimously decide not to make the trip after winning the National Basketball Association title, the notion that the question somehow came up after the confetti dropped (after the fourth win, not after the first three) overlooks the very real possibility that, at some point during the team's dominant playoff run, they decided among themselves that if/when they win, they won't be going to the White House.

Livingston did not address what the team would do Wednesday, but said in a radio interview in February that he would not visit Trump and the White House.

"Today is all about celebrating our championship", the organization wrote in a statement released Tuesday.

"We're going to do what our leader [Curry] does", Iguodala said earlier in the week.

But during this finals series I've found myself supporting any team that came up against the highly-fancied Warriors.

"Y'all might write about it. I steel feel like that today", Curry said following Golden State's 2016 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

"And then if y'all write something, we'll say "Fake News". NBA Finals MVP Kevin Durant rode on a different bus with his mom. We're going to do everything we can to keep this team together.

The government has ordered a judge-led inquiry into Wednesday's disaster, which is under pressure to act quickly. In her statement May said: "We need to know what happened, we need to have an explanation of this".

"We'll handle that accordingly and responsibly, and do the right thing for us individually and as a group".

Sure, trades are a big part of how global sport works these days and I've seen plenty of elite athletes make the switch in different codes such as soccer and the AFL.

"Right now, the only answer seems to be 'not a damned thing.' Because that's the only answer that makes sense".

"I don't know. I probably won't", West said. Which means that the Warriors will get their wish without creating a headline that could alienate some fans or otherwise generate the impression that they are disrespecting the office.

"I agree with that description if you remove the "et" from asset", he famously told San Jose newspaper, The Mercury News.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr expressed his disappointment with the election results last November, saying after the election that Trump regularly used "racist, misogynist, insulting words" during his campaign.

"We don't even have to speak about it", Iguodala said.

"He is the complete opposite of that". We try to talk our young people into being accepting of other people's opinions and other people's walks of life.
