NBA Finals MVP Kevin Durant doesn't intend to make a visit to the White House when the Warriors make their way to the nation's capital on Feb. 28, telling ESPN he "won't do that" because he doesn't respect who is in office.

Durant, who is in Washington, D.C. as part of Kevin Durant day, said he fundamentally doesn't agree with President Trump and his decision to skip the White House visit is a means of him making a statement.

"I don't agree with what he agrees with, so my voice is going to be heard by not doing that," Durant said.
