J.J. Redick: 'I don't think anybody in the NBA cares if President Trump watches basketball'

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Last week, as the NBA was gearing up for a historic season resumption after a four-month hiatus caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, President Donald Trump issued a warning on his Twitter account that kneeling during the playing of the national anthem would be a “sign of great disrespect” and added the game would be “over for me!”

Looking forward to live sports, but any time I witness a player kneeling during the National Anthem, a sign of great disrespect for our Country and our Flag, the game is over for me!
