LeBron James slammed for walking off court during national anthem after screaming 'let's go' at NBA season-openerJames was seen leaving the court as the anthem played ahead of the Lakers' opener against the Clippers By Kunal Dey Updated On : 11:43 PST, Oct 24, 2019 LeBron James appeared to disrespect the national anthem as he walked across the court shouting at the crowd when the Star-Spangled Banner played during NBA's season-opener on Tuesday, October 22. While the rest of his team stood still, James was seen leaving the court as the anthem played ahead of the Lakers' opener against the Clippers. The four-time MVP shouted "let's go!" while unzipping his sweat jacket and later taking a seat on the sidelines, Breitbart reports. This comes just a week after James called Hong Kong protesters "uneducated" for protesting their opposition to China's tightening grip over the special administrative region. Several observers ridiculed James for his support of China, which is notorious for its human rights abuses. Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri slammed James for his remarks amid the league's ongoing controversy with China. Meanwhile, fellow NBA star Enes Kanter also criticized James for going against Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement. Furthermore, several citizens in Hong Kong took to the streets after James' comments and burned his jerseys and merchandise in protest. Meanwhile, several netizens demanded James show more respect to the national anthem, while some quipped he would have been more respectful of the Chinese anthem. VIDEO

Just what to expect.
Nothing new from someone trying to be relevant.

He is an incredibly annoying person.
Kinda funny when he tries to talk educated.

Just another one-note horn that sees the end coming and wants to stay in the public eye when he leaves b-ball.
Wants to be respected for his mind. Good luck with that! Barkley made the jump because he's smart and funny, and tells it like he sees it. Don't see any of that from Leboob.
What fresh Hell is this?

There is no positive correlation between throwing a ball through a ring and being intelligent, wise or moral.

If only I could be so oppressed as Mr James is in the USA.
No wonder he won’t respect the anthem, he has no opportunity here.
Let’s export the bastard to China so he can get educated.

He came right out of high school to the NBA. He was handed millions for playing a meaningless game in a make believe world. He has no clue as to what the real world is. Can you expect anything better?

Hotrod Lincoln: I must correct your statement!
Correctly stated it goes like this: "You can take the negro out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of the negro"!
This holds true with way more than 50% of the current crop of negro's in our country.
And that is sad because there are many fine black folks in America.
Behavior like the dimwitted athlete named lebron just makes it harder for so many black American citizens.
Personally I think he is an incurable asswhole.
He should be ashamed of himself but he is to full of hate and racism that conducting himself like a man is not possible.
Sad in a way.

He was drafted right out of high school IIRC. Not the sharpest tool in the shed.

NBA went to hell after Michael Jordon retired. He was probably the last smart ni@@er to play that had any talent.

If it wasn't for basketball, he'd be a dropout.

I’d like to see that uneducated, overgrown monkey throw his bullshit around and disrespect the Chinese National anthem like that were he a subject of China......alas he isn’t though, he’s an ignorant useless ass that gets away with his disrespect BECAUSE he’s an American and being an ignorant ass is protected, even celebrated anymore.
