Ex-NBA player Enes Freedom once again took aim at LeBron James after the Los Angeles Lakers forward was seen sitting during the national anthem at his son’s basketball game.
Over the weekend, James attended the University of Southern California’s basketball game against Long Beach State. James’ son, Bronny James, made his debut with the team after missing the start of the season to recover from cardiac arrest.
Before tip-off, LeBron was seen arriving at USC’s Galen Center with his family during the singing of the national anthem. After being escorted to his seat, LeBron sat down.
Some Twitter users were outraged at LeBron taking his seat in the middle of the anthem — including Freedom.
“LeBron James stands for whoever gives him money!” Freedom tweeted. “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.”

LeBron has been a frequent target of Freedom’s for years now, stemming from his controversial comments regarding China. Since then, Freedom has taken every opportunity to accuse the superstar of being loyal to the country because it’s one of the NBA’s largest markets.
