Social media users dragged LeBron James for his disrespectful behavior as pop star Macy Gray sang the National Anthem before the NBA All-Star game in Cleveland on Sunday.
The 54-year-old “I Try” singer may not have been the best choice to sing the Anthem, but respect is still due.
The Internet claims she had a sip of happy juice before singing “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Some stars drink to calm their nerves before performing in front of a national audience.
She seemed drunk or high. Have you seen the clip of Lebron trying not to laugh? Seemed to me like she couldn't stand still.

The Lakers star, a native of Camden, Ohio, smirked as Macy sang, then he dropped his head and laughed.
LeBron’s reaction went viral, as sports fans dragged the 37-year-old Team LeBron leader for laughing.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Murray and Steph Curry all appeared solemn and respectful during the Anthem.
Twitter users were divided over LeBron’s antics. One person faulted Macy for “making a mockery of our country.”
Why wouldn't LeBron laugh at someone making a mockery of our country?

Another Twitter user was grateful that LeBron didn’t kneel like rapper Eminem at the Super Bowl on Feb. 13.
By the way, LeBron hit a turn around jumper to lift his team over Team Durant 163-160 on Sunday.
Watch Macy’s video below.
Lebron James is supposed to protect black women. He shouldn’t been an adult and kept a straight face while Macy Gray was performing. People felt comfortable to laugh at her style of singing because the camera cut to Lebron holding in his laughter smh
