NBA star LeBron James was booed by fans at the Super Bowl last night.
A chorus of boos filled the stadium when James appeared on the jumbotron during the game between the Chiefs and Eagles.
The fans at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona were not impressed at the sight of the basketball player and let him have it.
James responded by putting on an imaginary crown to honor his nickname, “King James.”
“They just showed LeBron on the Jumbotron here,” said Outkick’s Clay Travis.
“Only celebrity to be booed by the stadium so far.
“LeBron then pretended to put a crown on his head.”

James recently passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the NBA’s all-time leading scorer.
Abdul Jabbar’s previous record was 38,387 points and most thought the record was unbreakable.
LeBron said when he passed the milestone:
“Just want to say thank you to the Laker faithful, you guys are one of a kind.
“To be in the presence of a legend and one of the greatest such as Kareem is humbling.
“Give a standing ovation to the captain, please.
“Everybody that’s ever been a part of this run for the last 20 years,
“I just want to say thank you. F–k man… thank you guys.”
