Golden State Warriors, who shunned White House invitation last year, meet with former president Barack Obama
The Golden State Warriors met with former president Barack Obama Thursday ahead of their game against the Wizards. News of their visit broke out when a staff member of the Warriors' team put up a picture on Instagram, of the team and Obama together. The post was up for a few minutes before being deleted, but not before a Mercury News reporter got a glimpse of it, which he then promptly reposted to Twitter.
The Golden State Warriors decided to not visit President Donald Trump in 2018 after winning the championship, and it seems 2019 will continue in that trend. The Golden State Warriors were invited to the White House by President Trump last year in order to celebrate their win in the championship. But Stephen Curry and his team rejected the offer from the president, who wasted no time in taking to Twitter and retracting his invitation to the team.
