Lebron James defends rival Steph Curry, calls Donald Trump a “bum”

Lebron James dunked on President Donald Trump on Saturday, calling him a "bum" over his initial morning tweet revealing to NBA champion Steph Curry that he isn't welcome at the White House.

"[Curry] as of now said he ain't going!" the NBA hotshot tweeted. "So consequently ain't no welcome. Going to White House was a significant privilege until the point when you appeared!"

"And afterward you stroll into a live with your girl and your significant other who have fundamentally been offended by his remarks and they're distressed. At that point you stroll in and see the characteristics of your players, the greater part of them who have been offended straightforwardly as minorities, it's extremely stunning. It truly is." 

After the Warriors beat James' Cavaliers in the NBA title in June, a few players — including finals MVP Kevin Durant — said that he would not go to the White House to meet Trump on the off chance that he was welcomed. 

"I won't do that," Durant told ESPN. "I don't regard who's in office at the present time." 

Trump's tweet Saturday took after peculiar, incendiary remarks at a crusade occasion for Republican Luther Strange on Friday in which he said that "two bit bastard" football players who stoop amid the national song of devotion ought to be terminated. The dustup likewise takes after his current feedback of ESPN after grapple Jemele Hill called Trump a "narrow minded person" in a progression of tweets. 

Lord James' consume on Trump quickly resonated over the games and political universes Saturday, with many giving the hotshot a virtual high five for his safeguard of Curry.
