INDIANAPOLIS _ LeBron James encouraged diversity while criticizing President Donald Trump's executive order that temporarily bans all new refugees from seven predominantly Muslim countries to enter the United States in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
"I am not in favor of this policy or any policy that divides and excludes people," James told THR. "I stand with the many, many Americans who believe this does not represent what the United States is all about. And we should continue to speak out about it."
James and Spurs coach Gregg Popovich have been two of the NBA's more outspoken critics against Trump since the campaign. The ban is not currently being enforced because a federal judge granted the states of Minnesota and Washington a nationwide temporary restraining order blocking the ban.
