Philadelphia 76ers star LeBron James responded Thursday to President Donald Trump ranting about his actions during the national anthem.
Earlier that day, the president called James a “total disgrace” after a viral video showed him practicing his golf swing before the team’s season opener against the New York Knicks on Tuesday. James then appeared to practice his jump shot as the rest of his teammates stood still beside him.
The clip drew significant backlash from prominent conservative figures, including the likes of Clay Travis, Jon Root, and Laura Ingraham.
“While listening to our National Anthem, LeBron James disrespects our Country!” Trump said in a Truth Social post that included the clip.
