LeBron James issues sarcastic one-line response to Donald Trump after he called him a 'disgrace'
LeBron James has had his say after the president of the United States, Donald Trump, blasted him for his actions during the national anthem. The POTUS seemed enraged after seeing The King practice a golf swing and jump shot while the American national anthem was played before the Philadelphia 76ers’ opening-night win over the New York Knicks.
LeBron James provided a tongue-in-cheek response to Donald Trump's disparaging remarks about him during the national anthem. The US president expressed his disapproval of James' behavior while the anthem played before the Philadelphia 76ers' game against the New York Knicks. James' reaction to Trump's callous comment came after the Sixers' second win of the season, this time against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Despite Trump's harsh words, James chose to respond with a sarcastic remark, saying, "Must have been a slow news day in the office." The 41-year-old continued to showcase his exceptional talent, contributing with 17 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, three steals, and one block in his opening game as a Philadelphia Sixer.
