Enes Kanter Freedom rips LeBron James' actions during national anthem: 'No respect for the country'

Former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom says it's 'such a shame' after LeBron James appeared to ignore the National Anthem at his son's college basketball game on 'The Story with Martha MacCallum.'

Former NBA center Enes Kanter Freedom took exception to how Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James walked through the Galen Center court during the national anthem prior to his son Bronny James’ game with USC. 

James was seen on video walking to his courtside seats with his family, as the national anthem was playing before his son’s debut with the Trojans in a game against Long Beach State. 

As the anthem continued to play, James took his seat while many throughout the arena were standing. James is seen standing up at the very end of the video before it cuts off.

Kanter Freedom saw the moment and ripped James on his X account. 

"Lebron [sic] James stands for whoever gives him money! He would have stood with his hand on his heart if that was the Chinese National Anthem!" Freedom tweeted. 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."

This isn’t the first time Kanter Freedom has been vocal about his dislike of James.
