In the Philadelphia 76ers' 106-100 win over the Knicks at Madison Square Garden, video captured James making swinging and shooting gestures during the anthem, prompting Trump to label it a 'TOTAL DISGRACE' and call for an apology to fallen service members.
Commentators like Clay Travis criticized the move as toxic, while others pointed to James' $1.4 billion fortune earned in the U.S. as reason for more gratitude.
James stood still during the next home game against Cleveland, and the Sixers have not responded; the incident echoes past debates on athlete anthem conduct, with views split between disrespect and routine stretches.
LeBron James is taking imaginary jump shots and practicing his golf swing during the national anthem. The disrespect for America is unbelievable. The NBA will be better off once he retires. https://t.co/0eVaKzyFHT
