Instead of of hitting the White House to dine on Big Macs and french fries with President Donald Trump, Steph Curry and pals visited former president Barack Obama in D.C. ahead of their game with the Washington Wizards.
Star Draymond Green posted a photo of the team with Obama on his Instagram account.

The two-time defending champs have skipped their White House visit the last two years. In September 2017, after Curry expressed no interest in visiting Trump to celebrate the Warriors 2016-2017 championship, the president responded with one of his trademark Twitter attacks, rescinding the invite.

When the Warriors visited D.C. in February 2018 for their annual game against the Wizards, the team used the opportunity to visit the National Museum of African American History.
Both Curry and LeBron James agreed ahead of the 2017-2018 NBA Finals that, whichever team won -- Curry's Warriors or James' Cavs -- neither team would visit Trump's White House. So here we are, and the Warriors have stuck by that promise.
A team official told ESPN that the meeting was set up by Curry but, after Thursday night's game (which the Warriors won), Curry played coy about how the meeting came to be.

Green told reporters after the game, "A private team meeting, team event, it was good." And Kevin Durant added, "It was amazing," according to ESPN.
Adding one more twist of the knife to Trump's ego was the presence of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, whose congressional district includes the Warriors' future San Francisco home arena.
