What do you think of Tyrese Gibson’s national anthem alteration?

Lakers fans already have a reputation for being arrogant, and that reputation soared to new heights following Tyrese Gibson‘s rendition of our national anthem prior to the start of Game 5 Wednesday at the Staples Center.

In case you missed it (and consider yourself lucky if you did), Gibson sang ‘that our Lakers were still there’ instead of ‘that our flag was still there.’ Even worse, the Staples Center crowd cheered when the altered line was delivered.

I know Gibson was trying to have some supportive fun, but there are some things you don’t mess around with -- and the national anthem is one of them.

But what do you think?
