PHILADELPHIA, PA — NBA officials believe they've finally found a way to get LeBron James to stand at attention during the national anthem and show some respect by giving him a Chinese flag to look at.
James, in his first game for the 76ers, was seen practicing his golf swing during the national anthem at this year's season opener at Madison Square Garden. The NBA received hundreds of complaints as a result, forcing league officials to figure out the best way to get the veteran player to sit still like an adult. Then it hit them: China.
A Chinese flag, just for LeBron, will be held up by a little Chinese boy in front of James's face during the national anthem to get the power forward to behave.
Though an unconventional solution, it appears to have worked.
"China is a totalitarian communist hellscape and LeBron loves it," said NBA Commissioner Bob Basketball. "Probably because of all the sweatshops they've got working on his Nike shoe line."
76ers head coach Nick Nurse said he knew adding the Space Jam: A New Legacy star to their roster would come with some hurdles, but he hadn't expected this. "LeBron comes to us from Los Angeles, where people hate America, but this is Philadelphia, the birthplace of America," said 76ers head coach Nick Nurse. "John Adams would be rolling over in his grave if he could, but he was too fat near the end, sadly."
At publishing time, the NBA had added a picture of Xi Jinping to the flag to ensure LeBron's compliance.
What about James’ son Bronny? He’s not exactly Caitlin Eizabeth Clark when it comes to basketball skill.
Just suspend him a game, each time he makes a spectacle of himself.
Who does LeBron think he is, Deion Sanders?
“Just suspend him a game, each time he makes a spectacle of himself.”
I saw just about all the spurs and the Knicks rolling their eyes at the anthem
And spectators sit for it. They allow it. All those people who pledged allegiance to the Republic
Everyone wants Trump to be the only one defending the flag. Trum and the military
That is not going to work. Just watch
LeBron apparently is an America-despising LeNitwit.
WHEN SERIOUS FIRES THREATENED HIS “COMPOUND” OF HOMES IN LA A FEW YEARS BACK——JAMES REFUSED TO EVACUATE-—UNTIL OFFICIALS ACTUALLY SHOWED UP AT HIS PROPERTIES & ORDERED HIM TO GO.
THE EVACUATION ROUTE WAS TOWARDS RIVERSIDE TO THE EAST.
BY THE TIME HE FINALLY WAS EAST BOUND-—EVERY TIME HE STOPPED FOR MOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS-—THEY WERE ALL FILLED UP.
HE FINALLY FOUND ROOMS IN RIVERSIDE....
THEN HE WENT ON THE MEDIA & VERY LOUDLY COMPLAINED THAT THE MOTEL OWNERS WERE RACIST BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT HELP HIM...
HE IS A TOTAL ARROGANT ASS.
I’d hate to see that douchebag tear his Achilles!
That’d be terrible.
I would have been yelling at the sick pervert “Ain’t nothing like a diddy party.” He would have heard me.
Fans should chant that during his games.
