'Hell, nah!': High profile NBA champions oppose visiting Trump in White House

The Golden State Warriors said they have not yet made a decision whether to visit the White House to celebrate their 2017 NBA Championship win.

The brothers took turns climbing on top of a water cooler to see over the crowd and jumped with delight as Curry's bus went by.

While Warriors fans were gearing up for the teams victory parade, on Wednesday some team members discussed another possible celebration that made the news earlier this week.

The parade will take place Thursday morning in downtown Oakland, following the same route as the team's parade to celebrate the 2015 National Basketball Association title.

Speaking with ESPN's Zach Lowe on his "Lowe Post" podcast, Kerr said he knows how fortunate he is to coach "a group of players this talented who are together in their primes".

The Warriors won the title in 2015 before the Cavaliers made their historic comeback previous year.

He made four birdies over the last six holes to salvage a 71, but he still missed the cut for the second straight year. The Englishman shot a one-under 71 but had to fight back from two bogeys and a triple bogey in his first six holes.

"They're going to be around for a while", Cavaliers forward LeBron James said after suffering his second Finals defeat in three years to a Warriors team that went 16-1 in the playoffs. When asked if the Golden State Warriors would meet that price point, Lacob said that he will do whatever it takes to keep Curry in Golden State, meaning that he will nearly surely get that big money contract.

Residents of Oakland, which recently learned it's losing one of its other beloved teams, the Raiders, to Las Vegas, are still reeling from a police scandal and mourning a deadly warehouse fire. According to SFGate.com, "Backup point guard Shaun Livingston said during a radio interview in February that he "definitely wouldn't go" to the White House if the Warriors won the championship".

"It has been a insane year for me".

"I mean, come on, you got a bunch of guys who are talented and can shoot and pass and dribble, and they're unselfish", coach Steve Kerr said.

In a modern setting, however, where Golden State can use multiple defenders on Jordan before he catches the ball, I'm taking the Warriors. Green said James had started the super team concept.

James teamed up with All Stars Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh on the Miami Heat to win his first championship in 2012. On Thursday, it's all about the parade. "You've got people of every race, color, religion, creed, whatever, and everybody's just coming together and loving this team". After years of the Oklahoma City Thunder wanting Durant to be the leader and face of their franchise, it seems easier to just be one of four All-Stars and not have to assume any kind of leadership role for KD in Golden State.
