No decision yet, but Stephen Curry still feels like he wouldn't go to Trump's White House

“Somebody asked me about it a couple months ago, a hypothetical, if a championship were to happen: ‘What would I do?’” Curry said. “I think I answered that I wouldn’t go. I still feel like that today.” […]

Curry said a few of the players have had “side conversations” before on the subject, but “you don’t plan anything until you win the championship.” Now they brace for the parade on Thursday. And NBA title teams don’t typically visit the White House until the next season, usually when they play the Washington Wizards.

“Nothing is going to distract from what we were able to accomplish together and the different kind of ceremonies and traditions that have happened around championship teams, we don’t want that to taint what we accomplished this year,” Curry said. “So we’ll handle that accordingly and responsibly and do the right thing … I’ll personally do the right thing for me and I know the team will have a conversation about what’s going on. Probably more to come on that.”

“We just won a championship,” Durant said Wednesday. “I can guarantee that wasn’t on anybody’s mind as we were enjoying it. We haven’t even talked [about] it. I haven’t even thought about it until I heard it yesterday that it was even talked about. That’s a long way away. I’m sure we will have a conversation about it pretty soon. We got the parade. We just won a title. Let us enjoy that and we will figure it out …

“I have a take, but I’m going to leave it to myself right now. That’s not important, my take on that. It’s about us supporting this championship. And we are going to move forward with that when we have a chance to.”

“We haven’t even gotten that far and all those reports are false. It may be that a couple of players have been asked about it. I think Andre [Iguodala] and Draymond [Green] may have been asked about it, and David West. We never had any discussion about it, either during the season — that obviously would have been premature, that’d be bad karma to talk about that. But after the game that’s the last thing on our minds. We’re just trying to celebrate and enjoy everything.”

So I saw all these reports, and I’m picturing — you know, we’re going crazy in the locker room, pouring champagne on each other’s heads and I’m picturing this scene where I go in and say, “Hey everybody, everyone be quiet, let’s take a vote on whether we want to go to the White House.” Are you insane? That’s not going to happen. We’re having too much fun for that.

That’s something we’ll discuss if we get the invitation. I think there’s a respect for the institution, for the office. There’s a respect for our government that I think you have to take into account, regardless of people’s opinions on the person sitting in that chair. I think that’s important. But it’s also important for the players, because it’s really about them, to make the decision whether they want to go or not. So that’ll be a process, but, as I said, we have to get the invitation first. We’ll see what happens.

“We’re going to do what our leader [Curry] does,” he said. “I think we handle [the White House situation] when it gets there. I mean, it may be different. There might be somebody different in [office]. That’s a realistic thing to say though, right? So you don’t know what’s going to happen.”

As for Iguodala’s vote?

“Hell nah.”
