LeBron James, Lakers Will Not Visit Biden During DC Trip

While champions from the major pro and collegiate sports leagues typically visit the White House to be honored for their achievements, no such visit has taken place since 2016, when LeBron James, then a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers, made the trip to visit President Obama.

After 2016, White House visits became a contentious political issue as the Golden State Warriors, Toronto Raptors, Philadelphia Eagles, and other pro and college teams snubbed White House invites in protest of Trump.

“The Lakers, who won the 2020 title in October in the NBA’s Orlando bubble, have yet to hold a championship parade because of COVID-19 concerns,” the New York Post reports.
