Count former NAACP chapter president Rachel Dolezal as a LeBron James fan.

Dolezal, who has come under fire after her parents last week revealed she was white after years of her identifying as black, was asked by TMZ Sports who she was rooting for in the NBA Finals.

Dolezal arrived in New York for her "Today" interview, which aired Tuesday morning.

LeBron will need every fan he can get Tuesday night as the Cleveland Cavaliers hope to stave off elimination against the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals.
