President Trump says that he will not invite either potential NBA championship team -- the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Golden State Warriors -- to the White House, "but we have other teams that are coming," as per CNN Politics tweet.
On Friday morning President Trump made it clear that he would not invite either NBA Finals team to the White House regardless who the winner is. However, he said that "other winning teams have visited while sounding hopeful that the Washington Capitals would make the short trip," The Hill reports.
"You know my attitude if they want to be here, it's the greatest on Earth," he said of teams visiting the White House. "If they don't want to be here, I don't want them."
Trump's conflict with the sports world became a matter of national concern when he suddenly canceled a visit by the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. LeBron James made a statement that neither NBA Finals team would accept a trip to the White House.
Trump responded, "I didn't invite [Cavaliers forward] LeBron James and I didn't invite [Warriors point guard] Steph Curry. We're not going to invite either team." He also added that he has plenty of teams which have visited him at The White House anyway: Alabama's college football team, the New England Patriots, the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Clemson University Tigers football team.
