ANALYSIS – Los Angeles Lakers basketball legend, billionaire and shameless apologist for Communist China, LeBron James just insulted America again as he strutted late into his son's college basketball game at the University of Southern California (USC) arena.
His insult to America wasn't because he was late, but because James sauntered to his front row seat distracting all in attendance and sat down while everyone else was respectfully standing for the national anthem.
Fox News reported that the brief video clip of the incident quickly circulated across social media, with over 3.9 million views on X in less than 24 hours. By Thursday, the video was viewed by over 6.5 million X users.
Fox News reported that: “X users noticed that James immediately sat in his chair as ‘The Star-Spangled Banner' blared on the speakers and failed to remove his hat – which is customary to do during the national anthem. He finally stands toward the end of the video.”
And social media users were not happy.
As Collin Rugg noted on X:
LeBron James casually walks into the basketball arena while the National Anthem is playing and takes a seat.
Zero respect for the country that gave him the opportunity to be a basketball star.
Zero respect for the country that allowed him to become a billionaire.
Zero respect for the men and women who defend our country so he can live his life.
Shameful.

Lebron James stands for whoever gives him money! He would have stood with his hand on his heart if that was the Chinese National Anthem!
He has no respect for the men and women who defend our country, so that he can live his life freely.
Poor example of leadership and an embarrassment to the #NBA
He has no respect for the country that allowed him to become a billionaire, and a worldwide basketball star.
The reporter who took the video, pushed back though, posting on X, “this is gross and completely mischaracterizes the situation. LeBron has done this for YEARS in Bronny's time at Sierra Canyon. It's objectively the best time to walk in so he doesn't cause a massive stir. Stop it.”
Well, if he has done this for years, it is even worse, and maybe he will finally learn to respect the anthem.
Let's also note that James has been extremely vocal about his pet ‘social justice' fads in the past, participating in the kneeling protests during the National Anthem in 2020 and wearing Black Lives Matter (BLM) shirts a lot at that time.
But as the New York Post reported:
On China, though, he's mute. So are his employers. They all portray themselves as champions of social justice and of courage and striving, but their commitment to these causes and values stops at the water's edge — and at their bottom line.
When a couple of years ago, the NBA threw the Houston Rockets general manager under the bus for tweeting in support of pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong, King James pronounced him “not educated on the situation.”
The Lakers forward affirmed a right to free speech — at least that's something — but said we have to be careful what we say. “So many people,” he warned, “could have been harmed, not only financially but physically, emotionally, spiritually.”
Meanwhile, UFC champion Colby Covington added to the chorus of criticism of James on Wednesday night as he prepared to take on Leon Edwards in a welterweight bout at UFC 296 over the weekend. And Covington definitely didn't pull his punches.
Fox News quoted Covington as saying:
“If you hate America so much, and you don't like this country that gave you a billion dollars – leave it. Or come deal with me. Go to China. Go to these sweatshops that you employ all these laborers and use these women and pay them pennies on the dollar to make your millions.
“F— you LeBron James. You're a coward. You're a spineless coward and you're a b—-.”
All I can add is: “What he said!”

ANALYSIS – Is Trump regretting his VP pick? Will Trump tell Vance he is “fired”? When former President Donald Trump selected J.D. Vance as his vice presidential candidate soon after surviving an assassination attempt, some called the choice bold and a doubling down on Trumpism.
I said he could help Trump make his case in 2024 and be the GOP standard bearer in 2028. Still, I also said I would have preferred Trump had picked a woman, and that I had some reservations about Vance as VP, including his youth and inexperience.
