“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.
