An ex-NBA player has sparked outrage on social media after proudly displaying who he is going to vote for later this year in the US presidential elections during a Big3 league game.

The 33-year-old pro was allowed to have 'TRUMP 2024' Sharpied on his head while playing for 'Power' in Baltimore after the MAGA Republican candidate debated Joe Biden for the first time this year.

He was drafted by the Houston Rockets but never played for them before a stint on the Sacramento Kings


Last year, the former player announced his campaign to run a senatorial campaign in Minnesota. He is running as a Republican. 

The 6-ft-8, 260-pound 'point' forward has had some bump-ins with the law, too, like being $100,000 in arrears on child-support payments for one of his four children.

On his campaign website, Minnesota's 2009 Mr. Basketball references some of his well-documented mental health struggles and claims that mental illness was caused by both materialism and a decline in spirituality. 

NO SHAME: A former NBA player has had 'TRUMP 2024' Sharpied on his head in a Big3 game

The ex-NBA hooper has also previously called for an American Jubilee, which would essentially get rid of taxes for all.

'first nba player with cte??' a dumbfounded X user asked. 

'I’m starting to realize, he just wants attention,' someone else said.

'I don’t take advice from guys named Royce it rhymes with choice which I have and will exercise that come Election Day,' another person wrote.

The former basketball player, hyped up former Trump aide Steve Bannon, has a history of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), mainly triggered by his highly publicized fear of flying.

The father-of-four was called the 'mystery pick' of the 2012 NBA Draft due to his NBA ready body, legal issues, point-forward skill set, and travel-related problem while at Iowa State (2011-2012).

The Rockets selected the player as the 16th overall pick but he never appeared in a game for Houston

In 2014, the player signed two, 10-day deals with the Sacramento Kings, but failed to establish himself on the team's roster. 

The former power forward often shares political messages in the Big3, like 'Free the Uyghurs'

White - a father of four - has previously been accused of domestic abuse and assault by women

He then played in Canada from 2016-2018, where he won two championships on the London Lightning, as well as a scoring title and league MVP.  

The player is no other than Royche White, who faced allegation of domestic abuse and assault on the past. 

He also once called women 'w***es' and 'b***es' on social media.

The former athlete has displayed other political messages on his head during Big3 league games, too, such as 'Free the Uyghurs,' referring to China's repression of the Turkic ethnic group.
