The Golden State Warriors are fresh off another championship win, but won't be making a trip to the White House as it's become customary, after President Donald Trump rescinded a never-sent invitation after point guard Stephen Curry said in a press conference that he would choose not to attend due to the actions from the head of the regime.

Head coach Steve Kerr doesn't think his team would have attended, even if invited, as many of his players and even himself have spoken out on their discontent with Trump and the current administration.

“I don't think we would have gone,” Kerr said on Monday's Pod Save America podcast via ESPN. “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.”

Yet the Warriors coach has found some positive signs from this event, as members of Congress and other representatives have extended invitations of their own for a visit, drawing praise for standing their ground.

“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.”

Kerr's spoke about the possibility of doing something highlighting team values, like putting on a charity event in Kevin Durant's hometown of Seat Pleasant, Maryland; once the team visits the nation's capital when taking on the Washington Wizards on Feb. 28.
