President Donald Trump slammed NBA superstar LeBron James for showing “disrespect” during the national anthem
During the Philadelphia 76ers’ season opener against the New York Knicks on Tuesday, Oct. 20, James appeared to practice a golf swing and jump shot as The Voice contestant Avery Wilson sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” before tip-off at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Trump, 80, took to social media on Thursday, Oct. 22, and said James, 41, should “apologize” for his behavior. “While listening to our National Anthem, LeBron James disrespects our Country,” the president began.
“I said right from the beginning that he’s no good, a TOTAL DISGRACE,” Trump continued, adding, “LeBron James should apologize to all of those Great American Warriors and Heroes who died for the American Flag, and all that our Country stands for!”
As seen in a video from Tuesday, the NBA star — who is in his first season with the 76ers — was at the end of a line-up with his teammates as Wilson sang and appeared to be moving his body.
James did not address his actions during the anthem, nor has he responded to Trump’s comments.
