LeBron James’ reaction to Macy Gray’s national anthem performance had everybody talking on Twitter Sunday.
Gray put her own spin on “The Star-Spangled Banner”, but something clearly tickled James as he was caught on camera trying not to laugh.

LeBron trying not to laugh at Macy Gray singing the National Anthem, and noticing the camera on his face, was fucking hilarious.

Macy Gray didn’t do a bad job on the anthem at all, but seeing LeBron trying so hard not to crack up was funny.

If you have listened to Macy Gray and had realistic expectations, then you know that she did great. She can’t change her tone; it’s her unique voice that made her star as it’s not manufactured in a studio. It’s her real voice. #NBAAllStar #macygray

I thought Macy Gray sounded & looked great for it to be here but y’all was expecting her to sound like Whitney.

This isn’t the first time James has been caught trying not to laugh on camera during a national anthem performance.
Back in 2018, he and Draymond Green were seen smirking as Fergie did the honours.
