Several times during the first half of the broadcast on ESPN cameras cut away to James celebrating in a suite at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
At one point he was even doing part of the the O-H-I-O arm motions and pointing to fans in the stands to do the other.
In the lead up to the game, James narrated Ohio State's CFP championship game hype video. The Lakers have an off day in their NBA schedule on Monday after playing the Clippers Sunday night at the Intuit Dome.
"It's always been us. It is and it will always be Ohio Against The World," LeBron said in the video. "Our story is unfinished. Our story has one last chapter to write: the Chapter of Champions."

At halftime of the game Ohio State held a 21-7 lead over Notre Dame.
Among those in the suite with James is business partner Maverick Carter, who is consulting with a group to launch a rival basketball league to the NBA.
