LeBron’s first step to protesting Donald Trump

LeBron James is taking his political views to New York City.

The star guard headlines a group of Cavaliers who have been exempt from staying at the Trump SoHo hotel when the defending champions head to the Big Apple on Wednesday to play the Knicks, multiple sources told ESPN.com.

The rest of the team will stay at the Donald Trump-branded property, fulfilling the contract the Cavaliers signed with the luxury building when it opened in 2010.

James and Co. join the Mavericks, Bucks and Grizzlies as the NBA reps boycotting the President-elect’s hotels, which exist in New York and Chicago.
