Prince William and Kate took time during their 3-day trip to New York to attend an NBA game in Brooklyn between the Nets and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The couple arrived in the first half but did reach their courtside seats until the third quarter where they were sitting next to NBA legend Dikembe Mutombo.

Shortly thereafter, the royal couple received the most American of welcomes as they were introduced on the scoreboard for the audience.
William seemed to enjoy the moment, waving to the camera.

Here is the moment as it was scene in the arena and broadcast on the YES Network.
Of course, this is Brooklyn, so William and Kate weren't the only royalty in the house. In addition to LeBron "King" James, Jay Z and Beyonce were sitting nearby.
