Lebron Scores 50, Then Gets Bashful When a Fan Rushes the Court

If you didn't catch it last night or the highlights this morning, LBJ was doing his thing last night, putting up modest numbers of 50 points and 10 assists in a win over the Knicks.


But the added excitement from the game happened when a rabid Lebron fan rushed the court to get a chance to talk to James. The weird thing is, the guy looks like a young Damon Jones:


What was even more odd was Lebron's reaction to the fan:

"It was a great feeling, when you get a fan to come down there and express the way he feels about you," James said.

"He said he loved the way I play and that I was his favorite player. That never happens. I respect him. I respect his pride. For him to come out there and tell me something like that, it's [one of the most] unbelievable things that ever happened to me."

When reporters asked if he wasn't a little bit scared by the situation, James grinned and said, "I'm 6-9, 260. I'm all right."

Good old Lebron. He still gets butterflies in his stomach when a madman races towards him.
