“Donald Sterling didn’t sell his team either until the NBA came in and did something,” Oakley said. “If you’re a former player and what happened to me when they [dragged] me out of there for no reason, and we got the tape and I didn’t do nothing, it’s like lynching somebody back in the ‘40s and ‘50s. [Dolan] don’t care. I hate to put him in the category of Donald Trump, I think he’s Trump’s nephew. He don’t care.”

With public anxiety about the coronavirus increasing, Popovich was asked if he’d talked to his players about taking precautionary measures such as washing their hands. “Whatever President Trump says,” Popovich said. “You know you can believe whatever comes out of his mouth.” Popovich has been an outspoken critic of the Trump administration. In an effort to reassure the country, Trump said Saturday there was “no reason to panic” as the White House announced new restrictions on international travel to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

It’s no secret President Donald Trump loves to play golf.
President Trump awarded Tiger Woods the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, and has teed it up with Woods, as well as Jack Nicklaus, Dustin Johnson, PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan and Augusta National chairman Fred Ridley, Lexi Thompson and many, many others.
Add former World No. 1 and current No. 3 Brooks Koepka to that list.
In a profile in GQ, Koepka opened up about his love for golf, what he would change about the sport and his relationship – or lack thereof – with other players. He also talked about a recent round with President Trump.
Koepka, his father, younger brother Chase and President Trump “had a blast” at Trump’s course in West Palm Beach.
“It was nice to have my family there, my dad, my brother. Anytime it’s with a president, it’s pretty cool,” said Koepka. “I don’t care what your political beliefs are, it’s the President of the United States. It’s an honor that he even wanted to play with me.”
“I respect the office, I don’t care who it is,” added Koepka. “Still probably the most powerful man in the entire world. It’s a respect thing.”
In fact, Koepka has met four of the five living U.S. presidents, including President Barack Obama at Floridian Golf Club in Palm City, Florida.
“I don’t care what anybody says — that was the coolest thing,” said Koepka. “Not to get into politics — like, I don’t agree with everything that Obama did during his presidency — but to this day, I think that it was the coolest thing ever. Top five highlights of my life so far, that was one of them. Meeting him as a sitting U.S. president.”

Trump might invite Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder to White House
President Trump told reporters Sunday that he is considering inviting heavyweights Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder to the White House.
Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder might meet again sooner than expected — inside the Oval Office.
President Trump, who watched the much-ballyhooed Wilder-Fury rematch on Saturday, told reporters that he is considering inviting both heavyweights to the White House.
“That was a great fight,” Trump said outside the White House on Sunday before leaving on a trip to India. “Two great fighters who are really, really exciting. Maybe we have to bring them both to the White House because that was really a good one.
“In fact, I think we will do that.”
The uncharacteristically aggressive Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs) stopped Wilder in the seventh round at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas to become the newest titleholder in the division.
Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs) has the option of calling for a third fight, as per their contract.
