Naturally, Facebook and Twitter erupted as Warriors superstar Kevin Durant, who lit up the internet when he signed with Golden State last summer, took command of this year's NBA Finals to become the series MVP.
In the 2017 NBA Finals, the fifth championship loss of his career, James reasserted himself as the best player in the world while the Cleveland Cavaliers team fell a chasm short of the Golden State Warriors.
The Golden State Warriors won their second title in three years on Monday night, defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers 129-120 to clinch the series.
"The Warriors will be the first team to boycott a visit to the White House following a championship".
The Golden State Warriors say no decision has been made regarding a potential White House visit to celebrate their National Basketball Association title.
"That's what you have to do when you're going against LeBron", said Cavaliers forward James Jones, who has been with James since he went to Miami and won his first two titles.
Almost 200 congressional Democrats are suing Trump - here's why
Separately, the attorneys general of Maryland and the District of Columbia also filed a lawsuit this week on similar grounds. Many of those voters are happy about anything that makes Trump's life even a little more hard , and the lawsuit does that.
In 2010, Boston Bruins goalie Tim Thomas refused to visit then-President Barack Obama in the White House, citing his personal political beliefs.

Curry responded to that asset quote, "I agree with that description if you remove the 'et'".
Also earlier this year, teammate David West said Trump represents "the complete opposite" of how he teaches young people to act. "They're assembled as good as you can assemble, and I played against some really, really good teams that was assembled perfectly, and they're right up there".
"I wouldn't call it revenge", Iguodala said. "We have not been invited to the White House". Then you walk in and see the faces of your players, a lot of them who have been insulted directly as minorities, it's very shocking.
Kerr told Sports Illustrated Trump is ill-suited to be president because he is a "blowhard". Trump's divisiveness has made it more acceptable for players to voice their opinions. Given the things that coach Steve Kerr and star player Steph Curry have said publicly about the Commander-in-Chief and the widespread reports of a unanimous decision to not make the trip, the White House surely won't be inclined to issue the invitation.
