Brooklyn Nets’ newest fans were cavorting with the enemy
Liverpool FC’s biggest Cleveland-based supporter met His and Her Royal Highness’s ahead of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ NBA match-up with the Nets. King James took time out to mingle with the British royalty and receive a ribboned gift as bodyguards tried their best to fit in and look casual.
One could be mistaken for thinking LeBron is asking ‘Who?’ in the photo below but we prefer to think he is expressing a delighted ‘Ooo’ at being offered a lovely box by the second in line to the British throne.
The royal couple were even captured on the arena’s Kiss Cam (occasionally used to show match highlights too) and responded to the gentle goads of a sudsy American audience by mutually pecking.

As for the game itself, the Cavs pulled away from their hosts in the third and fourth quarters and eventually ended as comfortable 110-88 victors. James contributed 18 points, eight rebounds and seven assists while Cavs’ top bucket locater was Dion Waiters with 26 points.
