A legendary NBA figure has vowed to stop staying at Donald Trump-owned hotels in protest of Trump’s controversial travel ban. “I just can’t do it anymore,” he said, taking a public stand against the executive order that banned entry from seven Muslim-majority countries in early 2017.

The order, which Trump claimed was a security measure, drew intense backlash. Critics called it discriminatory and un-American. “This is not who we are,” many argued, as protests erupted across the country.

The ban didn’t just affect politics—it spilled into culture and business, sparking responses from celebrities, athletes, and organizations. The NBA community was notably vocal, with several figures condemning the order.

This act of hotel boycott adds to a growing trend of athletes using their influence to speak out. “It’s about standing for what’s right,” the NBA legend explained, underlining how sports figures now play major roles in shaping social conversations.

The decision underscores a deeper divide between the Trump administration and institutions like the NBA, blurring the lines between sports, politics, and business.
