LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers appeared to thoroughly enjoy their trip to the White House to meet President Barack Obama on Thursday. Starting in January, championship teams will be invited to meet with President-Elect Donald Trump, assuming this tradition continues in the Trump administration. Should James and the Cavs win another NBA title during Trump’s term, James is not willing to discuss whether or not he would attend.

“I don’t know,” James said, according to The Washington Post. “We’ll have to cross that road if we get there. We’ll see. I would hope to have to cross that road. That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t want another championship.”

James joined the campaign trail for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton prior to Election Day, so there is no disputing where LeBron fell in this latest political race. James joined a number of people responding to the news that Clinton was defeated by Trump on Tuesday night in saying it was difficult to digest from his point of view.

“It was difficult watching it. Me and my wife didn’t go to bed until 4 o’clock in the morning,” James explained. “It was very difficult seeing what happened not only in our state, but in our country. Like I said, it is what it is. That’s in the past. We need to live in the present and make our future better.”

James has made an effort to get more involved in political or social issues over the past year, including his taking part in a pre-ESPYs statement alongside fellow NBA players Carmelo Anthony and Dwayne Wade. LeBron has also expressed support for San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and his national anthem protests. Without a doubt, James is comfortable using his stardom to address and respond to issues in our country. If James were to turn down an invite to the White House, he would not be the first athlete to reject an invite to the home of the president. Tim Thomas turned down a trip to the White House when the Boston Bruins were honored in 2012, for example.

Go, don’t go. For James, it may not be as big a deal considering he has been to the White House multiple times by now.
