LeBron James is nicknamed King James but fans gave him grief for putting on an imaginary crown while attending the Super Bowl on Sunday. (Watch the video below.)

James, the newly anointed all-time NBA scoring leader, was reportedly booed when he appeared on the big screen at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, during the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.

King James’ apparent self-coronation struck some as royally “embarrassing” and “corny.”

He did not just pretend to put a crown on? Lmao man this guy is corny. Self titled King smh.

Greatness doesn't have to crown one's self. That's why LeBron will never be the greatest

That’s because Jordan , Kobe as well as Bird and Magic would never “ crown” themselves. Lebron is great , no doubt… but he also has to be the most insecure “ star” athlete I’ve ever WITNESSED
