The NBA mostly took Sunday off as the entire sports world was focused solely on the Super Bowl.
It ended up being a wild, close, exciting match between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs, who ended up victorious again.
There was a slew of major names in the stands, rooting on their respective teams.
LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers was just one of the huge celebrities watching the game.
Safe to say Phoenix Suns fans aren’t fans of LeBron James 😂

But when his image flashed on the jumbotron screens during the game, it was mostly met with a chorus of boos from the fans.
James didn’t seem bothered by the response and even pantomimed placing a crown on his head, perhaps a gesture to symbolize his recent claim of the all-time NBA scoring record.
Just because James heard a lot of boos doesn’t mean he’s not still one of the most popular basketball players alive.
It is important to remember that the Super Bowl was held in Arizona, which is obviously the land of the Phoenix Suns.
Suns fans surely aren’t going to root for their Western Conference rivals.
Additionally, Philadelphia fans were in attendance and they are also not too fond of James and his Lakers.
Therefore, James was in enemy territory during the game but he still enjoyed himself.
Fans of the Lakers are hoping he was resting a lot too because he has missed the last couple of games due to injury.
His Lakers are set to play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday but he is questionable for that game because of a foot problem that won’t seem to go away.
That means LA might be missing James for an extended amount of time, which is never good news.
