LeBron James and Steph Curry say that no matter which of their teams wins the NBA finals, they will not be going to visit the White House.
The Philadelphia Eagles were supposed to visit the White House to commemorate winning the Super Bowl — a visit that was canceled by President Donald Trump, an unprecedented move. The White House was accusing players who weren’t planning on attending of abandoning their fans — calling it a “political stunt”. Curry and James were among those speaking out at the NBA Finals in support of the Eagles.
James said, “I know no matter who wins this series, no one wants the invite anyway. So it won’t be Golden State or Cleveland going.”
Last year, Curry announced that he wouldn’t go to the White House, prompting the President to disinvite him and the champion Golden State Warriors.
“What else do you expect Trump to do?” Golden State’s Kevin Durant said. “When somebody says they don’t want to come to the White House, he disinvites them. So the photo op don’t look bad. We get it at this point. But it’s good that guys are sticking to what they believe in and what they want to do. Like guys said before me, I’m sure whoever wins this series won’t be going.”
