ESPN NBA analyst Jalen Rose thinks some professional athletes, especially those in the NBA, who are invited to the White House to be recognized for winning championships will skip the festivities because Donald Trump will be president.

I’ve always thought there was an underlying reason why Tim Tebow was declared persona non grata in the NFL, and that reason had ZERO to do with his playing ability...
Wonder if Wikileaks takes requests...?
Jalen, Trump has already eclipsed any fame your black socks Fab-Five ever achieved.
Tis but a scratch!!
Trump was highly regarded and not associated with hate and racism until he joined the race as a Republican and the rats invented a meme. If, instead, he had endorsed and worked for Hillary, he would be given great influence in her regime.
If professional sports were to disband today, tomorrow would still come....
Great news!
Don’t wantcha, don’t needya.
Stopped watching even the Phoenix Suns last year.
Bet The Donald won’t be posting his bracket, either ....
“Tebow...and that reason had ZERO to do with his playing ability...”
Sorry, the reason Tebow didn’t make it as a QB in the NFL is because he was not an NFL level quarterback...period! He does not have an NFL arm, nor an NFL throw. He does not have the ability to get the ball out fast enough and never showed an ability to read a defense to call an audible.
Any NFL QB that is still trying to modify his radical delivery after 4 year in the league is not long in the league. In his 2011-2012 season with the Broncos, in which he played in 14 games, his completion rate was 46.5%. When they asked him to try another position..he refused..it was QG or bust!
I like Tebow; I think he is a great role model, but he is not an NFL quarterback.
I hope so. These phony bastards who are “down with the people” want the plantation gates slammed and nailed shut. They are in the process of NFLing themselves.
good....
Okay then!
And I won’t attend or watch any NBA games.
What the Hell is that???
Rose, you just Kapernicked the NBA! Good work buddy.
Trump wasn’t going to have them anyway. He doesn’t need to use celebrities to make himself seem cool like obama does. And Trump supporters aren’t interested in those fools anyway. Especially since they’ve shown us what they are.
Because FR doesn’t support the NFL and NBA TigerClaws. Individuals here might, but FR doesn’t. If JimRob wants to do that, it his business.
Do you believe in banning and suppressing the speech of people you don’t agree with?
Probably relieved that nothing will be stolen by these thugs while they are there. The NBA is where the NFL is headed, over paid punks and criminals. I haven’t watched an NBA game since Bird played in the early 90’s and haven’t missed a second of it.
Elections have consequences. I would consider this possibility a positive consequence.
