Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James made news on Saturday when he responded to a recent statement made by President Donald Trump. In the statement, Trump disinvited the Golden State Warriors from celebrating their NBA championship win at the White House.
As a response, James took to Twitter to call the president a “bum.”
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!

Hours later, Warriors star Draymond Green was asked about James’ comments and gave his own opinion on the matter.

“Well, you know, I think everybody has a right to their own opinion,” he said. “I think LeBron voiced his. I respect him for voicing his opinion, you know, it’s a free country. He called him a bum. I respect it.”
Later, Green was asked if he felt the same way.
“I feel how I feel,” Green said. “Michelle Obama said it best, she said it best. ‘When they go low, we go high.'”
While James and Green have had their disagreements in the past, it seems they at least share similar opinions on the current POTUS.
