LeBron James is as much an NFL fan as anyone else, and during Super Bowl 56, he was having a great time as he showed up live to the game.

The NBA star is an LA resident and so him making the trip wasn’t too surprising given how many other high profile celebrities showed up.
The game was tightly fought throughout, and LeBron probably had a vested interest in both sides. On one hand, the Bengals are from his home state, Ohio, while the Rams are in the same city he plays in currently. In the end, James was going to walk away happy, and that’s exactly what happened.

The halftime show perfectly complemented the game as well. The title went right down to the wire as the Rams pulled off a narrow 23-20 victory decided on the second-last drive of the game. Cooper Kupp won Super Bowl MVP for his heroics on the Rams’ last touchdown drive.
