I guess you don't watch the NBA much. It's actually strange to see 3 people with their hands over their heart. Don't believe me, look it up. Players don't hold their hands over the heart for the anthem in the NBA. If a team does it, then that may be the only one(MAAAAYBE two tops). It's very rare.


IIRC, players don't do it because the anthem is after warmups, and they want to keep their arms loose for the game. It has been an on-goining trend in the NBA for as long as I can remember.

The girls here are coughing, not singing the national anthem(as per the Doctor instructing a free group physical, on free-group physical fridays). That's why the players in the background are just chillin. :rolleyes: /sarcasm

Picture is misleading. He was about to put his hand over his heart but then injured his shoulder.

I'm befuddled on how this became an issue when it involves Rose ...in 2014, but then again anyone can and will find something to be critical of

As pointed out ad nauseam, not putting your hand on heart doesn't mean you're not giving reverence to the National Anthem, quite a few basketball players(athletes in general) put their hands behind their backs or don't do anything.

Smells like a troll thread to me.

Everything is cool with me unless some idiot is screwing around when the flag is being displayed or the nation's anthem is played. How a person chooses to do that is his or her own business.

Meh... these days young people tend not to be as demonstrative with their patrotism.

I've seen LeBron do the same thing, then throw up devil horns when the anthem ends. It doesn't mean anything, so I'm told.
