No NBA team visited the White House during the Trump administration and some weren’t invited at all. In the case of the Golden State Warriors, the invite was withdrawn. The last team to attend was LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Nov. 10, 2016, when Barack Obama was in office.
Donald Trump Rumors
Anthony, Paul and Wade were among the NBA’s influential voices who condemned President Donald Trump for his divisive rhetoric and emphasized the importance of voting. “We got the president out of there. So that’s a major accomplishment,” Anthony said. “So we can start shifting our focus to the next thing. Things are not going to stop. There’s always going to be something else.”
San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich is rarely ambiguous. You know where he stands. And he made it clear on Tuesday he supports a second impeachment of President Donald Trump. “The fact that there’s going to be an impeachment beginning tomorrow is the least that we can do,” Popovich told reporters. “I don’t have a lot of faith that the 25th Amendment is going to be invoked. This impeachment will say a lot. If anything, it will bring people together rather than be divisive. It will bring people together who may have thought a different way and realize what Trump can really do and what he really is. So I’m all for it. It’s a good move.”
He was heartened to see some Republicans support impeachment. “To see people like (Wyoming GOP Rep.) Liz Cheney come out today and said what she said really warms your heart,” Popovich said. “She’s a Republican. Trumpism is a cult. She’s a real Republican. I’m a Democrat. Her values are just as important as my values. That’s what you talk out. That’s what you compromise. Crazy nuts, wack jobs, conspiracy theorists have gotten us to this point.”
