The growing tension between NBA players and President Trump has reached nuclear levels. A day after Stephen Curry went on ESPN’s The Jump and said that he was still opposed to the Golden State Warriors visiting the White House, President Trump rescinded his offer to the team to visit him in Washington D.C.
Steph Curry on #TheJump just now, says he'll vote "no" on the Warriors going to the White House, wants them not going to make a statement.

Going to the White House is considered a great honor for a championship team.Stephen Curry is hesitating,therefore invitation is withdrawn!

LeBron James saw Trump’s tweet and called the President “a bum” for rescinding his offer to the Warriors.
U bum @StephenCurry30 already said he ain't going! So therefore ain't no invite. Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up!

It doesn’t appear that many NBA teams are going to be visiting Donald Trump at the White House in the next four years.
