Stephen Curry hinted Friday he would vote not to visit the White House setting off a firestorm between President Trump and other NBA players

Warriors star Stephen Curry hinted Friday he would vote not to visit the White House for the team's visit, which prompted Donald Trump to cancel their invite Saturday, and lead many NBA players including LeBron James to speak out against the president.

“It was amazing to see all of these guys (NBA players) rally around each other. That’s what this about," Curry told the Washington Post Saturday. “I commend and applaud everyone that’s spoken up. That’s what we are supposed to do. It’s really important."

Curry told reporters Friday during the Warriors' media day that if it were up to him, a decision on whether or not to visit the White House would be a "short conversation."

"By not going, hopefully that will inspire some change in terms of what we tolerate in this country," Curry said Friday.

It was reported in June that Warriors players had unanimously voted against accepting a White House invite after their NBA Finals win over the Cavaliers.

“My stance is the same as yesterday, and maybe cemented even further," Curry said Saturday. “I’ve played golf with President Obama. I don’t think I’ll be getting a tee time with this administration, to say the least.”

James labeled Trump "a bum" Saturday after he uninvited Curry and the Warriors from visiting the White House, a condemnation Curry strongly respects.

"I laughed because I’ve heard that said in pickup games a lot, it’s a bold statement," Curry said of James, adding it was courageous for anyone to speak up like he did, “let alone with someone with as much to lose as him.”

On Saturday afternoon, the Warriors issued a statement in which they said the president "had made it clear" they're not invited to the White House, which the team said left it disappointed that it wouldn't have a chance to share views "on issues impacting our communities."

“President Trump has made it clear that we are not invited. We believe there is nothing more American than our citizens having the right to express themselves freely on matters important to them. We’re disappointed that we did not have an opportunity during this process to share our views or have open dialogue on issues impacting our communities that we felt important to raise.

“In lieu of a visit to the White House, we have decided that we’ll constructively use our trip to the nation’s capital in February to celebrate equality, diversity and inclusion — the values that we embrace as an organization.”
