'Total disgrace': Trump demands that LeBron James apologise for practising his GOLF SWING during the US national anthem

Footage shows LeBron James, 41, also rehearsing his free throws at Madison Square Garden while most of his 76ers teammates stood still. President Donald Trump said James 'should apologize' to the 'Great American Warriors and Heroes who died for the American Flag'. The Sixers beat champions New York Knicks 106-100 in Tuesday's season opener. James had not responded by Thursday afternoon.

In July, Trump said James was 'maybe' a 'racist' and backed Michael Jordan instead.

James did the same golf-swing routine during the anthem on Christmas Day last year.

The feud dates back to 2017, when James called Trump a 'bum'.
