LeBron James responded Saturday to President Donald Trump's comments on the Golden State Warriors and Stephen Curry by calling Trump a "bum" and suggesting it was no longer an honor to visit the White House.
Trump tweeted Saturday morning that he had "withdrawn" his invitation to the Warriors to visit the White House and celebrate their 2017 championship win.
"Going to the White House is considered a great honor for a championship team.Stephen Curry is hesitating,therefore invitation is withdrawn!" Trump tweeted.

“U bum @StephenCurry30 already said he ain’t going! So therefore ain’t no invite,” tweeted James, the three-time NBA champion. “Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up!”
James, whose Cleveland Cavaliers lost to the Warriors in the NBA Finals, was a vocal supporter of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and visited the White House during President Barack Obama’s tenure.
In the past, Trump has called James “a great player and a great guy.”
Other NBA players also spoke out after Trump’s tweet. James’ teammate JR Smith implored Obama to come back to the White House.
“@BarackObama we need you back ASAP,” Smith tweeted.
JR Smith, the gang banger full of tats NBA player LOL LOL OMG too laughable for words
Making this racial will help, not hurt President Trump, fools. This isn’t Dubya or Poppy.
Why would people pay to see people who dishonor them?
This issue is coming to a head soon. Trump won’t back down.
I am looking forward to watching it play out, but not by watching games. They are too boring now and I haven’t watched in quite a while.
We are in a whole new world here. True post by you.
Le Who?
A preemptive strike by DJT. He dis-invited them before these NBA clowns had a chance to refuse. Before thay had time to bitch among themselves like little 12 year old school girls.
RE: LaBron James........ a large physique does not always include a large brain.....here is an example.
These guys (pro athletes) wanted to get all political ... and then get all butthurt when someone thinks differently then them.
I guess that sports champions won’t be going to the White House for the next seven years, too bad for them, it was always a honor and great publicity for the various leagues.
For Lebron James, basketball (and football) was an escape from the street gangs. The gang lifestyle is a big part of the black culture. I am sure this is what ties today’s blacks to Zer0 and against Trump.
This is great. I wasn’t certain that he had dis-invited the whole team.
Uh, to use street parlance (I think) da Trump got game.
LeBron has made his fortune and does not care if he destroys the league by turning away an enormous slice of its patrons.
What F’ing morons these guys are.
Ive gone away from the NFL and it was remarkably easy. Im gonna do the same to the NBA. You just have to go political don’t you, you morons? Well, you insult my intelligence. Im done with you losers.
The overgrown Leprechaun from Cleveland stepped right into the President’s trap.
Oh how sweet it is.
Go ahead, keep running your mouth and reminding the world what a moron you - and the other “IQ-of-a-baked-potato”, low life experience and NO M-16 carrying experience, athletes are.
Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul also went after Trump via Twitter.
"With everything that's going on in our country, why are YOU focused on who's kneeling and visiting the White House??? #StayInYoLane," Paul said. "And I doubt he's man enough to call any of those players a son of a b---- to their (corrected "his") face..."
Hey Chris, come down to Texas and take me up on that. I'll call you and any one of those guys a son of a bitch to his face for refusal to show respect to the flag and country during the national anthem. Oh, and just me and you or the player, face-to-face. You can't come with ten security guys.
You can stand there and tell me whatever you want to. If you're implying laying a hand on anyone about it, then put your money where your mouth is, big guy. You're a whole lot of talk and no action. Anyone else here willing to talk to Chris Paul face to face?
