Back in November , Knicks big man Enes Kanter responded to James’ declaration that he was “King Of New York” by calling him “princess.” Enes Kanter calls LeBron 'princess' as war of words continues following Knicks' loss https://t.co/NQJ1pzmnKD (WATCH) pic.twitter.com/YzAEXODUr9 — SportsNet New York (@SNYtv) November 14, 2017 Monday night, they finally had their rematch, and LeBron displayed Hall Of Fame levels of pettiness before the game even tipped off. Last year, Enes Kanter asked LeBron, “What do you call yourself?
