Now, Charles Barkley has weighed in.Charles Barkley slams LeBron James but makes it clear he doesn’t care for President Donald TrumpBarkley appeared on SiriusXM’s NBA Radio and slammed LeBron for doing what he did during the national anthem while making his thoughts on President Trump’s criticism clear.“I don’t pay any attention to what President Trump says, first and foremost. At all.”“But I thought that was very disrespectful, practising a golf swing in the middle of the anthem. I always stand for the anthem; I think it’s important. We live in the greatest country ever. You can always protest, but you have to be very careful with the anthem.”James did not appear to repeat the golf swing gesture during the 76ers’ 114-109 win over the Indiana Pacers on October 28.
