I’m not kidding, I had no idea whatsoever that this was taking place. WHY?
Maybe it has to do with the winners, The Golden State Warriors, saying they would decline an invite to the white house should Trump invite them. The political climate seems far, far left to me.
The rumor about the Warriors passing on an invite seems to have been started by one knucklehead. (But that’s all it took for the media to salivate and report it because it embarrasses Trump.)
The rumor is absolutely believable considering Steve Curry, their star player, has said, “Trump is an asset, if you leave off the et.”
Even though not one Golden State Warrior really gives a crap about global warming, coal versus windmills, abortion, transgenders, and probably supports keeping out refugees, strengthening our military, they still seem to be far left. Go figure? Could it be they are one issue lefties? (I’ll leave it to you to figure out what that one issue is.) Somehow, I don’t seem to connect to these guys dribbling up and down the hardwood.
Maybe it has to do with the NBA’s lack of diversity. 80% of the NBA is black. If the left taught me anything it’s that I shouldn’t support stuff that doesn’t look like America.
I guess they like Jerry Brown sodomizing them.
I agree. Who knew and who gives a flying fuck?
Not me.
This is easily handled by not inviting them in the first place. That will piss them off if they never get an opportunity to decline.
F the Warriors.
Getting through all of the Liberal Bullshit Probably is’nt something they have Time for, so they Listen to their Possies ! Who are even less enlightened.
I suspect that Trump doesn’t really give a crap and has better things to do. Don’t issue an invitation and when asked by the MSM why no invite tell them the team made their wishes known and that he had more important things to do. Then wait for the bitching to begin and have a few laughs.
What about the Stanley Cup winner?
God I hope hockey players show again they are the smartest of the sports and leave politics on ice. If they are invited to the White House -they’ll go- because it’s an honor that the President of the USA invited you.
I’m with others here. I haven’t watched an NBA game in many decades. NHL in two decades. I simply don’t care.
Me neither, dude! I had no clue other than the occasional pic of LeBron James shedding a tear, which I did not click on.
I killed my TeeVee 4 months ago. Couldn’t be happier!
ALL sports teams should be disinvited to the White House. I never thought politics and sports should be mixed anyway. Everything we do as a society, eventually runs through Washington somehow.
Break the tradition. A sports team wins, do/say nothing. Go about your lives as usual.
I just call it Bastardball…
President Trump should not even invite them to the White House and therefore deny them the hoopla of declining. Who cares anyway?
I gave up on the NBA when Howard Schultz who owned the Seattle Super Supersonics sold them to Oklahoma City. My brother who lives in Seattle will not buy Starbucks coffee because of that. And I also don’t like the NBA because it has for the most part become the hip hop basketball league and the Natl. thug basketball league as well.
Last basketball game I went to was the St. Louis Hawks in 1963.
I was given tickets by the Decatur Herald for increasing the number of customers on my paper route.
I don’t remember the last professional game I saw on television.
Too predictable, dull.
See? Nobody cares about your silly league.
Last time I attended an NBA game was when Wes unseld played for the Washington um whatever. Were they the bullets back then?
Who gives a shit? We cancelled cable a long time ago, just because of this kinda shit. Effum. They can go to hell as far as I’m concerned. Made their millions because of competitive free market capitalism? Support socialists. Hundreds of millions of whites pay big bucks to watch them perform? Called racists anyway. Fuck ’em. They can go to hell.
Looked it up. Yes. They were the bullets. Formerly Baltimore bullets.
Used to be associated with building munitions for their country. Now associated with criminal killing in their neighborhoods. Bullets. Inanimate objects.
Now they’re the wizards.
And they wonder why nobody attends anymore.
Yup, and to eliminate the connection of the team name, to violence, the Washington Bullets agreed to change their name to “the Bullets”.

“I’d like to solve the puzzle Pat…”
Go penguins! Don’t give a crap about these pansy basketball players and over paid to boot!
@j6. I think you meant the wizards. Sorcery and witchcraft is preferable to nightly flying lead.
Btw. @j6 is a pretty sexy name, don’t you think? It’s good for the lazy. Like me.
@cato – your St. Louis Hawks became our Atlanta Hawks. Loved watching Pistol Pete!!!
Well Trump IS a racist after all.
Paraphrasing here because I can’t find the exact quote on line (surprise), but a few years ago Charles Barkley asked why would white businessmen go watch a bunch of thugs play basketball.
I guess it depends on whether the P is Patricia or Patrick.
After 6 games of the NBA championship it was finally decided that Cleveland still needs a quarterback…
The Stanly Cup playoffs just happened. Who watches basketball anymore? Nobody.
Woody Allen
Nappy headed hoes.
Basketball junkie here and I detest the Golden Showers Wussies. Draymond Green and Zaza Pachulia are overgrown hulking playground bullies.
News outlets are reporting this as fake news. Not that I care, I like watching the game but Steve Kerr is off the chart left. Ironically Malone is ultra conservative.
Is it true the main reason Kerr was out last year and this was an addiction to pain pills after his back surgeries? Nosy minds want to know. I thought maybe he joined the Bob Beckel club.
I got friends that like to talk BB. My eyes glaze over. The tatts, the uniforms, the attitudes. Other than that, the game itself is boring. I used to enjoy up until 92 or so. now its not even recognizable.
Have seen a lot of hashtag GSW on Facebook. In medical speak, GSW is a gunshot wound. If they’re invited and decline, they’re shooting themselves in the foot.
Just wait for the NFL this season. They’ve decided to make taunting and celebrations legal. Their lose a big chunk of their audience.

‘nuf said.
KD got a championship ring and was MVP. Something good did happen, it just sucks that the Warriors benefited from it.
National Biscuit Association?
I refuse to watch until the teams are evenly divided half white half black.
Of course I knew there was an NBA championship going on! The Chive devoted literally 50% of every page on its site to advertising this fact for the past two weeks.
And it was the team with the black guy in a beard versus the team with the black guy in a goatee.
Well, at least it gives them something to do besides robbin’ and rapin’
NBA hasn’t been worth watching since Larry Bird hung up his jock strap. When was that, about 1990. I haven’t watched since. It’s actually pretty boring, they travel all of the time, the rim is too low, the game is way too physical, there are too many games in the season, the players are spoiled privileged knuckleheads who are sub-standard citizens and could not care less about this country and could barely name a single state capital. I could go on, you got the idea, haven’t watched for 25 years would rather clean my roof gutters.
