LeBron James is heading into his eighth consecutive NBA Finals, and arguably no fan is happier for his success than Rihanna.
Her thirst for the four-time MVP and three-time NBA champion is well documented, so it’s no surprise that Rihanna was overjoyed when James pulled his team to victory over the Celtics in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
In her Instagram Stories on Sunday night, Rihanna posted two videos of LeBron from the laptop she streamed the game on. In one video, Rihanna can be heard screaming as she zooms in on James, who clearly looks exhausted from playing the entire 48-minute duration of the game. In another post, she captioned the video “King James,” complete with a crown.
Rihanna has been attending LeBron’s games since 2006, so she’s no bandwagon fan. She posted congrats to James after he won his first championship with the Heat back in 2012, and followed him without question to Cleveland when he decided to head back to his hometown.
LeBron and the Cavs will find out Monday night (May 28) who they will face in the NBA Finals as the Rockets and Warriors square off for Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals.
The NBA Finals kick off Thursday (May 31).
