It was only a matter of time…
LeBron James disrespected the national anthem and walked off the court shouting at the crowd as the song played during Tuesday’s season-opener.
As the anthem played ahead of the Lakers’ opener against the Clippers, James was seen leaving the court as the rest of his team stood at attention. Stomping off the court, James crowed “let’s goooo” as he unzipped his sweat jacket before taking a seat on the sidelines as everyone else observed the anthem.

The disrespectful outburst comes a week after James called supporters of democracy in Hong Kong “uneducated” for their opposition to China’s tightening grip on the semi-autonomous region.
James was chastised by many for his support for China, one of the world’s most significant human rights abusers.
For one, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) took a shot at James for his remarks regarding the league’s ongoing free speech scandal with China. And fellow NBA star Enes Kanter also blasted James for his support of the oppressive Chinese over Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement.
James’ comments also spurred thousands of citizens of Hong Kong to take to the streets to burn the player’s jerseys and merchandise, and to denounce the player’s stance against democracy.

Arrogant fool!!!
Send this POS to China.
Yes,Yes,Yes.
He has become an insufferable pompous idiot. He thinks far more of himself because of all the fawning sycophants that surround him. When you fail to know the history of our nation, don’t proclaim another person as uneducated. He is all about himself and does for others only if it helps his “brand.” He is just another wearisome celebrity who has long left behind decent citizens who love their country in its’ totality, not just their tiny orbit of hanger-on’s.
Wonder what he would have done if this had been about slavery?
David, You are right! LeBron has turned into a total as-hole. He is definitely a Demonrat because the only person he cares about anymore is himself. When he played with The Cavilers they had a practice at Ohio State, he didn’t even come out until late, he wouldn’t look at the crowd or sing an autograph for young kids. We never paid to go see him play after that.
I do not support racist fools like him either .
I hope that they have already “red flagged” this moron for any gun ownership. Looks like an unhinged psycho.
Should live in China, never have the chance to live in USA, or if it was up to me ever visit us also…
a real hero with his mouth !!!
so sad to have such a player with talent let crap go to his head and so uninformed that he can do this to better what? HE IS A FOOL IN BLACK SKIN OR IS HE JUST PLAYING THE FOOL FOR HIS IGNORANCE ON LIFE
He doesn’t know shit. He needs to play ball, keep his mouth shut and stay the hell out of politics.
LEBRON IS A LOW LIFE UNINTELLIGENT A HOLE WHO HAS SHOWN ONLY HIS LOVE OF MONEY . HIM AND NIKE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO PROFIT ANYTHING IN THE USA. GET LOST LE NO BRAIN OR HEART BRON.
Lebron James is an overpaid thug. He dreams of the day that he could get to be as good of a basketball player as Michael Jordan.
I gave up a piece of my life and some body parts defending America in the Naval Amphibious Forces. LeBron James can go to HELL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I personally wish he would have kept walking, out to the airport, onto a plane to China and never came back again. Who the hell do this overpaid egotists think they are. If you don’t like this country, then go away. It’s that easy. I for one will not watch a game he’s playing, no matter who it’s against. He’s just a pitiful POS.
He is a true nigger
