2020 NBA Finals start with moving rendition of the National Anthem performed on cello

[@DarkTempler1]

That was the best Solo Cello performance I've ever seen.

[@tracerit]

How many have you seen?

[@MQXM001]

I agree. Between Ben Hong’s performances at the Kobe Tribute and this to kick off the Finals - I am supremely impressed by the skill and emotion he shows off in playing the cello.

[@fievelevans]

A remarkable performance

[@robertphelps1574]

The music for star spangled banner as come along way since John Stafford smith composed it for a British drinking song called To Anacreon in heaven

[@jameswilliamjohnson]

But the lyrics are purely American. And that's what matters. Are you a commie? 😁

[@robertphelps1574]

@@jameswilliamjohnson I didn’t say anything about the lyrics if you want too look up Gloucester cathedral playing the American national anthem on KZbin for a group of US soldiers on the cathedral bells

Was the debate our iceberg

[@ezekieltong12]

It’s like the “Red Wedding” episode for the HEAT

[@erixxxblue2698]

trumptanic is sinking

[@kevinburke6055]

Looking at the ratings looks the NBA is sinking

[@AznS0ulja]

STAND UP for the anthem, put some respect on the flag.

[@bradleysuggs4251]

Hard to play cello standing up🙃

[@CMacBowls]

The cello is literally supposed to be played sitting.

[@ysn_rick4751]

Why do they get these talented ass people to play the national anthem when everyone just kneels anyway

[@danielr6599]

Don’t say “everyone kneels” because that’s not true. The recognition was there and some of the heartless a$$hats have been educated and stand now.
