The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge–also known as Prince William and Princess Catherine–made it into Brooklyn last night for a basketball game, and got to meet basketball royalty LeBron James. That was pretty cool. It was a good night for the visiting English royals to be in Brooklyn, since the Nets could’ve been playing a team that didn’t have the star power of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Besides, LeBron was on his best behavior. He waited until the game to court some real controversy with an “I Can’t Breathe” shirt on the court…
