Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James came under yet more scrutiny this week after his outburst during the playing of the U.S. national anthem during a game against the Clippers.

James was accused of being disrespectful as the “Star-Spangled Banner” played as he tried to pump up the crowd. It didn’t appear that he was trying to make a political protest of any kind.
