It’s old news by now — the Golden State Warriors will not be attending the traditional White House post-championship photo op.
Instead, they’ll be touring the National Museum of African American History and Culture with students from Seat Pleasant, Maryland, which is Kevin Durant’s home neighborhood. Importantly, no media will be allowed at the event; this is a specific preemptive dig at those who may want to claim this is all some stupid PR stunt.
This is cool on a number of levels, but the one that resonates most strongly with me is that they chose to embrace positivity.
