James, who played for the Miami Heat from 2010-14, is no stranger to criticism, took the ribbing with ease. He responded by putting an imaginary crown on his head. The gesture was reference to his nickname of "King James." 

The Chiefs won the game in one of the most exciting Super Bowls in history. They won a late field goal to capture a 38-35 victory. It was their second championship in four appearances. The Chiefs have played in three of the last four Super Bowls, only losing two years ago to Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
