Well who would’ve thought it? The King is going to play against actual royalty. Weirdly enough. You Americans care more about the Duke & Duchess Of Cambridge more than we do (I’m English by the way). Who knew?!
According to ESPN.com, LeBron James is actually honoured to play in front of the Royal couple.
Britain’s Prince William and his wife, Duchess Kate Middleton, will be in attendance for LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers’ game against the Brooklyn Nets on Monday.
“It’s an honor,” James said before the Cavs practiced in New York City on Sunday. “It’s a huge honor. The stuff that you read about, people like them are only in books growing up. And to hear that they’re coming to town to see me play and they want to see me do what I do best, it’s a huge honor.”
The royal couple will also meet with President Barack Obama on their U.S. tour. Count the president as another dignitary who has come to witness James play in person.
“Well I’ve had people from all across the board as far as stature, but the President of the United States, that was pretty huge,” James said. “To have those two, to say they were traveling here and one of the things that they wanted to do was see me play, it’s a pretty big deal in my household.“
It seems LeBron is having all the world’s dignitaries coming to watch him. I’m surprised the Queen hasn’t come to watch the NBA. She would go nuts watching someone get posterised!
