The renowned musical performer is a well-known LeBron fan, and she attended Game 1 of the Finals in support of James and the Cavs.

In the initial Lion King post, Rihanna also congratulated NBA Finals MVP Kevin Durant on winning a title and referenced the fact that they're both represented by Jay Z's Roc Nation.

Rihanna and Durant made headlines for reportedly interacting with each other during Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

Rihanna apparently yelled "brick" during a Durant free-throw attempt, and KD later stared her down after hitting a three-pointer, per USA Today.

After winning the championship Monday, Durant had the following to say to Rihanna, according to Josh Peter of USA Today"Love you, girl, but I got to do it. Gots to do it! You understand me?"

Despite losing in five games, LeBron made NBA Finals history by becoming the first player to ever average a triple-double in the Finals with 33.6 points, 12.0 rebounds and 10.0 assists per contest.

Durant was dominant in his own right, however, and took home MVP honors with 35.2 points, 8.4 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game.
