President Donald Trump fired back at NBA players LeBron James and Stephen Curry on Friday after the players said that they would not visit the White House if either of their teams won the NBA championship, telling both players that they were never invited.
Trump made the remarks to a group of reporters before leaving for Canada for the G7 Summit, saying, “I didn’t invite LeBron James, and I didn’t invite Steph Curry. We’re not going to invite either team.”
“But we have other teams that are coming,” told reporters. “If you look, we had Alabama — national champion. We had Clemson, national champion. We had the New England Patriots. We had the Pittsburgh Penguins last year.”
“I think we’ll have the Caps. We’ll see,” Trump continued. “You know, my attitude is if they want to be here, the greatest place on Earth, I’m here. If they don’t want to be here, I don’t want them.”
