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.
