Back in May, team coach Steve Kerr was vocal about his feelings toward 45, calling him a "blowhard" who "couldn't be more ill-suited to be President." Warriors star Stephen Curry made it known that he wasn't a fan when Under Armour's CEO Kevin Blank called the commander in chief an asset.

While #Dubnation may skip a visit, other NBA players feel differently. "That visit is more than how you feel about the current administration," said retired player Kobe Bryant. "It's about the guys next to you, about the flag, about the kids out there who look up to you and the United States. But, honestly, it's a tough call."

No official team announcement has been made.

What do you think? Should they or should they not go visit 45?
