Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry addressed the media for the first time since Donald Trump cited him as the reason that the team would not be invited to the White House.
Unsurprisingly, Curry was defiant, cracking jokes and stating that the whole thing only made him feel better about his stance.
Curry "my stance is the same as it was yesterday. This kind of cemented it even further."

Steph called the Trump tweet surreal and added…"It's kind of beneath a leader of a country to go that route. That's not what leaders do."

Steph said he got about 20 texts this morning about news. He joked Trump will never invite him to golf either

Given Curry’s thoughts on Friday, it’s no surprise that he’s not totally put off by this. He was going to be firmly opposed to a visit anyway.
