LeBron, NBA players didn’t like call to end Super Bowl either

Super Bowl LVII - Kansas City Chiefs v Philadelphia Eagles

An entertaining Super Bowl was essentially over when the Eagles’ James Bradberry was flagged for a soft defensive holding call in the game’s final minutes. It allowed the MVP Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs to run down the clock to set up a Harrison Butker field goal to win it. It felt like an anti-climactic way for a fantastic game to end.

LeBron James — who had his own moments with officials in recent weeks — and other NBA players agreed, that’s not how you decide a Super Bowl.

While NBA players may not have liked that call, they did love Rihanna’s halftime show.
