President Donald Trump told a group of reporters on Friday morning that he is “not going to invite” whichever team wins the NBA Finals — the Golden State Warriors or the Cleveland Cavaliers — to the White House.
Earlier this week, LeBron James said in a press conference that he didn’t believe either squad would accept an invitation anyway: “I know no matter who wins this series, nobody wants the invite (to the White House) anyways, so it won’t be Golden State or Cleveland going.”

The Warriors skipped out on visiting the White House last year, instead opting to spend time with local kids in Washington D.C.
