President Trump says the invitation given to Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry has been rescinded after the NBA player said he did not want to join his championship-winning team's visit to the White House.

"Going to the White House is considered a great honor for a championship team," Trump declared in a tweet Saturday morning. "Stephen Curry is hesitating,therefore invitation is withdrawn!"

LeBron James hits Trump: White House visits were an honor 'until you showed up!'

By Brandon Carter - 09/23/17 11:32 AM EDT

NBA star LeBron James called President Trump a “bum” on Saturday after Trump said Stephen Curry was no longer welcome at the White House following the Golden State Warriors' championship victory.

“You bum @StephenCurry30 already said he ain't going! So therefore ain't no invite,” James tweeted. “Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up!”

NBA championship teams have traditionally paid a visit to the White House, and the Golden State Warriors have reportedly been mulling a visit after defeating James's Cleveland Cavaliers this year.
