Not even the world NBA remained indifferent to the settlement of Joe Biden acting again President of the USA. For the importance, with global significance, of the role but also for the progress of these last elections, many extra-political personalities wanted to have their say. Including, in fact, several overseas basketball players.
Many have wanted to express their idea through Twitter. One of the most politically committed players, One’s Edges he is now American by adoption also because of the problems with Turkey for his anti-government positions. Kanter was among the first to comment on Biden’s official appointment.
Unity is the path forward. ????????❤️

His teammate echoed him Jusuf Nurkic. The Bosnian center commented:
It’s a new day in America ????????

Jamal Crawford instead he focused his attention on Donald Trump’s departure rather than on the new appointment. The former Brooklyn player made fun of the now former President by comparing his absence to the behavior of a child who takes the ball and stops playing because he lost.
Trump not being at the inauguration was the ultimate ” Taking my ball, and going home” move..

The NBA center Robin Lopez instead he relied on a learned metaphor to analyze Donald Trump’s farewell and his farewell words. In fact, the player compared the current situation to an episode of an old American sitcom, Cheers.
“Have a good life”?? Donnie Trump is no Sam Malone, but America is probably pretty similar to Diane Chambers. Has this all been one big episode of “Cheers”??

Finally Magic Johnson, of all, he is the one who expressed the most enthusiasm for the next 4 political years in the United States. The Lakers legend, and one of the symbols of the NBA, congratulated the new president and his deputy Kamala Harris, adding that he is excited for his country.
What an incredible day for our country!! I’m feeling energized & excited after watching the inauguration and the peaceful transfer of power. I want to send a heartfelt congratulations to the 46th President of the United States Joe Biden, Madame Vice President Kamala Harris and
