Former US President Donald Trump has made headlines once again, this time after being found guilty of 34 charges of falsifying business documents in New York. This marks the first time a former U.S. president has been convicted of a crime, sparking a lot of reactions around the country.

NBA fans weren't any different and took to X/Twitter to share their reactions to this sentence. Trump is a polarizing figure in the country, and not even the world of sports is indifferent to the controversial businessman.

One fan said that Trump is going to be sentenced before the NBA Finals start.

"The homie said Trump is gonna be sentenced before the NBA Finals starts 🤣😂🤦🏾‍♂️," this person wrote.

Another fan said they wouldn't believe this is actually true until NBA legend Magic Johnson tweeted about it.

"Waiting for Magic to tweet about Trump then I’ll know it’s real," this fan said.

Somebody even claimed tonight's edition of Inside the NBA should be focused on Donald Trump's sentence.

"I would pay a large amount of money for tonight’s Inside the NBA pregame to be solely about the Trump verdict," one fan said.

Another person claimed that seeing Trump being sentenced is like the Boston Celtics getting swept in the NBA Finals.

"this trial is like the celtics getting swept in the finals," this fan added.

Somebody posted a video of LeBron James, predicting Donald Trump is going to make a comeback and return to office.

Another one posted a graphic of former NBA Dion Waiters talking about how many shots he's willing to take despite missing a lot of them, comparing the player to Donald Trump.

NBA fans are always up to date when it comes to pop culture developments. This time wasn't the exception and they didn't hesitate to flood social media with comments.

Donald Trump has a long and controversial history with the NBA

Donald Trump made some enemies within the NBA during his time in the Oval Office. The former POTUS was very vocal against several players, including LeBron James and Stephen Curry.

Back in 2017, he went at Curry after the Golden State Warriors legend rejected an invitation to go to the White House. LeBron James responded to him on Twitter, calling Trump a 'bum.'

The King was also very critical of the incidents in the Capitol in 2021 when multiple Trump supporters raided the building.
