SPORTS/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Stephen Curry and LeBron James spoke their minds last year. They have not changed their minds this year. No matter whose team wins the NBA championship, neither superstar will be at the White House anytime soon. On the day when the Philadelphia Eagles were supposed to be there to commemorate winning the Super Bowl — a visit that was canceled by President Donald Trump and had the White House accusing players who weren’t planning on attending of abandoning their fans — Curry and James were among those speaking out at the NBA Finals in support of the Eagles. ‘I’m not surprised. It’s typical of him,’ James, the Cleveland star, said of Trump’s decision to cancel. ‘I know no matter who wins this series, no one wants the invite anyway. So it won’t be Golden State or Cleveland going.’ On the eve of Game 3 of the Warriors-Cavaliers series, politics dominated the conversation. Curry raised Trump’s ire last year when he said he wouldn’t go to the White House, prompting the President to disinvite him and the champion Golden State Warriors.”
