President Trump Was Asked About Victor Wembanyama's National Anthem Gesture

It appears every move San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama makes during the NBA Finals is being evaluated by the public.

Bobby Burack of OutKick pointed out that Wembanyama had his arms crossed during the national anthem on Wednesday night. There were plenty of people who thought his behavior during "The Star-Spangled Banner" was disrespectful. Others, however, didn't make much of this moment since he's from France.

Believe it or not, Wembanyama's viral moment prior to Game 1 of the NBA Finals was brought to President Donald Trump's attention this Friday afternoon.

"Is that what he did?" Trump said. "What did he mean by that?"

When a reporter informed Trump that no one questioned Wembanyama about his behavior during the national anthem, the president issued this response: "I guess you have to ask him."

The president appears to be a fan of Wembanyama.

Even though Trump is rooting for the Knicks in the NBA Finals, he had high praise for Wembanyama.

“I watched the end of the game – they were dominant,” Trump said Thursday. “Wemby’s a great player. He’s going to be a great player and he is already a great player. I said, ‘How do you guard this guy? He’s 7-foot-5 and has a great shot.’ But they found a way to do it. They’re a great team.”

Trump is expected to attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Monday night. Knicks owner James Dolan reportedly invited him to Madison Square Garden.
