    The Golden State Warriors knew they would not be visiting the White House to celebrate their 2018 NBA title on their annual trip to Washington this week. They hadn’t done so last year in recognition of their 2017 championship, with Stephen Curry saying he wouldn’t have met with President Trump even if invited and Trump then withdrawing any invitation that may or may not have existed.

    Instead, the Warriors this week met with the White House’s previous resident, on Thursday paying a visit to former president Barack Obama at his Washington office ahead of their game that night against the Wizards.

    According to ESPN’s Nick Friedell, a Warriors security official named Tony Banks posted a picture of the team with Obama on Instagram but then deleted it, though Golden State forward Draymond Green then put it up on his own Instagram page.

    They can do or not do what they want. Their prerogative.

    I'd love to go meet Trump or Obama. Unfortunately it will never happen.

    I met Barack when he came to Portland. Shook his hand and got to say a few words.

    I told him to get rid of the filibuster.

    Wonder how many bills would've passed had he done that.

    Not a thing. It's got to do with their morality.

    I could never meet with him and if I found myself purely by happenstance at one of his rallies I'd turn my back.
