There are three things in life that are guaranteed: death , taxes, and LeBron James always stays at the team hotel.
Well, that is, until recently. For the first time in his 14-year career, the Cavaliers star will forego kicking it with the rest of the Cleveland roster. James has opted out of staying at the Trump-named hotel in SoHo, where the Cavs have a contract.
James, however, made it clear that he's not trying to make a political statement against the president-elect, reports the New York Daily News.
OH NO! The hotel may have to close its doors. Who gives a crap where they stay. Overpaid whiny children.

James's choice has drawn the ire of some on social media.
"It would be the same if I went to a restaurant and decided to eat chicken and not steak," said James.
The Cavaliers forward actively campaigned for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
When asked about the president-elect, James said that he hopes that Trump is one of the best presidents ever, for everyone's sake.
After all we've endured throughout history -- w/ @BarackObama & @KingJames imploring is to vote -- all of us should have. Period!
