The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who are on a three-day visit to the Big Apple, sat courtside to watch Cleveland secure a 110-88 victory at the Barclays Center on Monday evening.

"It was their first time watching a basketball game, so it was an honor that I would be that guy they decided they wanted to watch," said James.

After the match, the royal couple, who are expecting their second child, were introduced to James and received two Cavaliers jerseys, one of which was for their son George, who did not travel to the United States.

The Duke and Duchess, who met A-list couple Jay-Z and Beyonce prior to the game, were also given a gift-wrapped box of cupcakes from James's hometown of Akron, Ohio.
