Just when you thought Donald Trump couldn't act more childish and Watch Dark Desire Season 1 Onlinepetty, he takes to Twitter and kicks off a feud with the second biggest basketball star on the planet right now.
SEE ALSO: NFL players slam Donald Trump for rant against protestsAs the NBA champ Golden State Warriors announced plans to vote as a team on whether or not they would make the traditional champions' visit to the White House, star Steph Curry said he'd likely be joining teammate Kevin Durant in notgoing.
Said Curry pretty succinctly, with a laugh, "I don't want to go."

Curry hedged a bit as he spoke, implying this was a team decision, but he was clear in his feelings on Trump when he spoke of "the things [Trump] has said, the things he hasn't said in the right times, we won't stand for it."
Of course, Trump gonna Trump. And the president did exactly what we could have predicted when he tweeted his ire at Curry on Saturday morning, pulling the typical, "You can't say no to me, I say no to you!" tantrum.

Later on Saturday, Curry's Warriors fired back with an official statement, which was posted on Twitter. They'll still visit D.C., but instead of swinging by the White House they'll "constructively use our trip ... to celebrate equality, diversity, and inclusion -- the values that we embrace as an organization."

Trump's words came the morning after he ranted about NFL player protests, triggering immediate blowback from players and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
Even without the White House drama, the Warriors' June victory in the NBA Finals -- their second championship in three years -- has been a drawn-out storyline over the summer's pro basketball offseason. (It's note-worthy that Warriors coach Steve Kerr hasn't minced words about Trump, either.)
But with training camps across the NBA starting up this weekend, the "will they or won't they" question has been raised again and, well, I guess we have our answer.
While championship teams visiting the White House first became a thing over 150 years ago, it wasn't until Ronald Reagan was president in the 1980s that it became an annual tradition.
And the tradition of players skipping the visit isn't necessarily new. There was Boston Bruins goalie Tim Thomas skipping a visit with his Stanley Cup-winning team in 2012 for very political reasons. And Michale Jordan famously skipped a White House visit during the Bulls glorious 1990s run when George H.W. Bush was president.
Just a few months ago, more than two dozen players from the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots skipped the team's visit to Trump's White House, a visit fraught with tittering over the relationship between Trump and star quarterback, Tom Brady.
But now, as with so many other norms under Trump, this tradition looks to be in jeopardy of either becoming another hot button issue or something that teams may avoid all together because it's just too politically touchy.
And, whether we like it or not, the worlds of politics and sports continue to be further meshed together. The line where one meets the other has not just been blurred, but obliterated.
