Around the NBA,Priyani (2021) Hindi Short Film players and coaches have reached a general consensus about Donald Trump's big presidential win this week.
They aren't happy.
The negative sentiment surrounding a Trump presidency has left some speculating that teams will no longer visit the White House, as the NBA champion traditionally does each year.
Richard Jefferson — a guard for the 2016 NBA Champion Cleveland Cavaliers — posted the following message on Snapchat last night. The Cavs visited the White House on Thursday.

His words feel more rooted in mockery than fact, but Jefferson isn't the only one who thinks teams won't visit Trump's White House. ESPN NBA analyst Jalen Rose said Trump was a "polarizing" presidential candidate and wondered how the sports world would react to his presidency.
"What we’re going to see in professional sports — NBA and NFL — mark my words, there will be players that decline the opportunity to visit the White House under his presidency,” Rose said this week.

Around the sports world, reactions to Trump's win have been mostly negative, particularly in the NBA.
Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy called Trump "openly and brazenly racist and misogynistic" on Wednesday, while Golden State Warriors veteran David West called a post-racial America under Trump's presidency a "fairytale."
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr went on a long rant before Wednesday's game, and said Trump's win left both his players — many of whom are minories — and his family — a wife and daughter — feeling distraught.

"People are getting paid millions of dollars to go on TV and scream at each other, whether it’s in sports or politics or entertainment, and I guess it was only a matter of time before it spilled into politics," Kerr said. "But then all of a sudden you’re faced with the reality that the man who’s gonna lead you has routinely used racist, misogynist, insulting words."
Not everyone in the NBA is anti-Trump though.
Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert has alleged ties to Trump. Gilbert, a big GOP donor, hosted the Republican National Convention at the Cavaliers' Quicken Loans Arena in July and allowed the RNC to use one of his buildings in Detroit for a Trump fundraiser.
Hornets center Spencer Hawes spoke to the media on Monday wearing a "Hillary for Prison" shirt, and then made this photo his Twitter avatar.

Still, most of the league isn't thrilled about having Donald Trump as a president.
But that doesn't mean the drive for change stops, according Knicks star Carmelo Anthony. "We have to start working," he said after the Knicks game on Wednesday.
"I think it’s up to us as individuals to take that responsibility and lead," he said. "Everybody’s gotta lead in their own way. We can’t rely on a system or one person. We’ve gotta move on from that.”
Whether or not that leadership sparks less visits to the White House might depend on who wins it this year.
