LeBron James brushed aside Donald Trump's furious criticism with a dismissive remark on Thursday, 22 October 2026, after the US president accused the NBA superstar of disrespecting America's national anthem.
Speaking after the Philadelphia 76ers' 114–106 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers, James appeared amused by Trump's demand for an apology, suggesting the president's attention to his pregame movements reflected a lack of more pressing news.
