LeBron James lit up the Garden for 50 points last night and, in a frightening moment, got a high-5 and handshake from a crazed fan who raced onto the court in the final seconds.
The incident occurred on the Cavaliers’ bench after King James was removed with 23 seconds left to a standing ovation in the Cavs’ 119-105 victory over the Knicks. The fan was removed by Garden security and arrested.
“When you get a fan come down and express the way he feels about you, he loves the way I play,” James said. “I’m 6-9, 260, I’m all right.”
James chatted up another courtside fan – Nets minority owner Jay-Z.
James lit the Knicks up for seven 3-pointers, including a 38-foot buzzer-beater at halftime and four treys in the final 2:07.
“To get a standing ovation in the greatest basketball arena in the world, is a dream come true to me,” James said.
