Usher sings amazing National Anthem before Game 4 (Video)
By Josh Hill
The Cleveland Cavaliers aren’t being as flamboyant about being in the NBA Finals as the Golden State Warriors, but that doesn’t mean they can’t come hard with their National Anthem.
When the Cleveland Cavaliers were tearing through the Eastern Conference Finals, the longtime fans of the franchise were coming out of the woodwork to be a part of the fun. This ranged from Katie Holmes to Ric Flair — which is a pretty eclectic range of fandom.
But one face that has been present all season long is R&B star Usher. He may not have been upfront all season long about his cheering for the Cavaliers, but he was no doubt there in the background waiting for his chance to pounce into the spotlight.
That happened before Game 4 of the NBA Finals, as he sang the National Anthem in a way that didn’t so much downplay the Cavaliers low key celebrity approach to the NBA Finals as it did blow it up in one performance.
It was amazing, no matter who you are, and over the top in all the best ways possible.
Usher has been a true fan for the Cavaliers, and while he could have hopped on just for this season, Cavaliers fans have welcomed him in with open arms.
