LeBron James is currently in New York for the Cleveland Cavaliers game against the Brooklyn Nets tonight. On Sunday night he had some free time and decided to sit court side for the New York Knicks game against the Portland Trailblazers. Knicks superstar Carmelo Anthony says LeBron James was in attendance to support him.
via ESPN:
“I knew he was in town, [but] I didn’t believe he would come,” Anthony said. “But that just goes to show you what type of guy he is. Regardless of what team he’s on, there’s a support system there, and I take my hat off to him for coming and supporting me tonight. He had a couple days off, and he came to support. I don’t think you can say anything bad about that.”
Anthony had 23 points and 10 rebounds in front of his Olympic teammate. The two friends had talked prior to the game, but Anthony said James did not tell him he was planning on coming to watch the game.
“He just showed up,” Anthony said.
When asked why he was at the Garden, James gave a long, “uhhhhhhh” before saying, “Sunday. I love Sundays.”
