A day after scoring 23 points in a fiery win at Madison Square Garden, the Cleveland Cavaliers forward declared himself the King of New York in an Instagram post.
He also referred to MSG as his “favorite playground.”

The four-time MVP, who had 12 assists, nine rebounds and three blocks in the 104-101 win, got into a heated scuffle with Enes Kanter during the game.
Kanter and James continued clashing after the game, with Kanter mocking James’ “King” nickname.
“I don’t care who you are," said Kanter. “King, queen, princess … whatever you are … we’re going to fight. Nobody out there gonna punk us.”
James fired back with a clever response.
“I’m the king,” said James. “My wife is the queen and my daughter is the princess so we got all three covered.”
