I noticed in the past few beginnings of the games that none of the players put their right hand over their heart during the national anthem, I know alot of them are from other countries but even the ones that are from the US dont either, am I missing something, it seems kind of rude for the American players no to due so?

I'll wager 98% of the fans don't do it, either. They don't even stand still for it. And half of them talk through it. So it's not just the players.
And you do know that the anthem is not supposed to be a performance piece, don't you? It's supposed to be sung by everyone in the house. Do you know the words?

because they are disrespectful little brats!!! all they care about is their selves... it is the most disrespectful thing you can ever do. it is important to show respect, just out of nature weather you are from the country or not. these men basketball players have big heads and disrespectful..that just shows a lesson on how fame can change a person. let those over-paid brats be disrespectful because they are the ones with little morality.

It ain't hip-hop enough to be patriotic. The players who aren't hip-hop are either European or play 82 games a year and it gets old.

because they are black and don't seem to realize that they can't earn 10 million per year playing basketball in Africa.
