It's been about a decade since Royce White played his lone season for the NBA. As he continues playing basketball in the Big3, he's using the added visibility to make his presidential pick abundantly clear.

During today's Big3 game in Baltimore, White showed up with words "TRUMP 2024" the right side of his head. It's not really surprising given White's past political ambitions - which included an endorsement by Trump himself when he ran for Congress in 2022. 

It also isn't the first time that White has decorated the side of his head to make a political statement. He's done so several other times during his Big3 run, including last year and in 2022.

Royce was a first-round pick by the Houston Rockets in the 2013 NBA Draft after a standout year at Iowa State. But a series of problems led to him being traded to the 76ers without playing a game and was later waived. He wound up signing with the Sacramento Kings and played three games for them in what would be his only NBA appearances.

Between 2016 and 2018, White plied his trade with the London Lightning of Canada's National Basketball League, where he was both a star and a champion. 

In 2019, White tried his hand at mixed martial arts, but lost his only fight against Daiqwon Buckley at LFA 120. 

Since 2021, White has been getting more involved in politics. He ran for Congress in Minnesota in 2022 and is currently running for Senate in the same state - both on the Republican party ticket.
