But James was the only person who seemed to care.

James has every reason to be amped though. After all, he was partially responsible for the surprise release of untitled unmastered.
The Cleveland Cavaliers star tweeted at Lamar's label in February, begging for more Kendrick.
Yo @dangerookipawaa after that @kendricklamar Grammy performance , you have to release those untitled tracks asap!!! What's up? Talk to me

A week later, untitled unmastereddropped.
Whether or not James' tweet had anything to do with the surprise release is uncertain, but one thing is for sure — King James dug it.
James — a vocal supporter of Hillary Clinton — also Instagrammed a clip of Lamar's hit "Alright" after Donald Trump became the president-elect. James is clearly a huge fan, and on a night he received one of the biggest honors in sports, King James looked the most stoked watching King Kendrick.
