It should come as no surprise that a tweet featuring Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James and president Donald Trump took social media by storm in 2017.
Twitter released its annual “most retweeted” list Tuesday, and James’ “U bum” response to Trump disinviting Stephen Curry from the Golden State Warriors’ championship White House visit back in September checked in at No. 7 globally and No. 1 among “most retweeted athlete tweets.”
U bum @StephenCurry30 already said he ain't going! So therefore ain't no invite. Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up!

James, one of the biggest sports stars on the planet, has 39.9 million followers. So although he didn’t tag Trump’s Twitter handle in the aforementioned tweet, it still sent the internet ablaze.
