What just happened?

Last week, LeBron James trolled New York City and the Knicks following an intense battle between them and the Cleveland Cavaliers where he called himself the “King of New York.”

Of course, he receieved tons of criticism from people within the city who would never let an outsider say such things about their hometown. 

Jay-Z may be a good friend of James, but as a Brooklyn native he was expected to clap back with a sharp defense. Instead…he decided to downgrade himself into the King of Cleveland. 

As Ebro says “who wants to claim that?”

Not exactly what we were looking for Hova!

In case you missed it see the clip below.
