Warriors' Kerr: 'I don't think we would have gone' to White House anyway

After capturing the 2017 NBA championship, the Golden State Warriors spent months debating whether they'd uphold tradition by visiting the White House.

President Donald Trump made the decision for them in late September, withdrawing the invitation in response to superstar Stephen Curry saying he didn't want to go.

Head coach Steve Kerr recently indicated that even if the offer still stood, he doesn't believe his team would've visited the Oval Office, as he and many of the players have spoken out against Trump and his policies.

"I don't think we would have gone," Kerr said on Monday's "Pod Save America" podcast. "And I think he knew that. Several of us had been very critical of the president in the past year, and it would have been awkward, for sure."

The Warriors defeated the Washington Wizards 120-117 on Friday at Oracle Arena, and are set to visit John Wall and Co. in D.C. on Feb. 28 for a rematch.

Kerr said when the Dubs go to the nation's capital, they'll look to do something that highlights their team values, like putting on a charitable event in Kevin Durant's hometown of Seat Pleasant, Md.

"We've been invited by various members of Congress to visit, so maybe we can do something like that," he said. "We've talked about doing what we usually do in D.C., which is visiting one of the many museums or historical sites."
