The NBA was understandably excited to start its season and get away from the China controversy that had embroiled the league over the past couple weeks.
However, even more controversy ensued on Tuesday night and on into Wednesday as video surfaced showing LeBron James walking off the court and screaming while the national anthem played.
Watch:
The internet did not take kindly to James’ ill-timed and disrespectful outburst:LeBron disrespecting the Anthem?!? Oh no pic.twitter.com/3Gev5Dh24x— Mickstape (@MickstapeShow) October 23, 2019
If this was the Chinese anthem @KingJames would have showed the proper respect https://t.co/a5yUyXo1dm— Dave Portnoy (@stoolpresidente) October 23, 2019

LeBron may truly have zero respect for America. National anthem still going and he walks off and yells “LET’S GO” to the crowd. His behavior the past month is indefensible. pic.twitter.com/Ql0T8a2QC2— T.J. Moe (@TJMoe28) October 23, 2019
