How are you going to start a fight at church?

When LeBron James first got to Los Angeles, he took a visit to a church service with Magic Johnson. Coincidentally, one of the attendees at the church is none other than actor Chris Tucker. In a new video posted by ESPN, Tucker recounted a hilarious story about how James and Johnson sat in the front row and blocked Chris' view which almost led to a full-on fight.

"Get out the way. I can't see nothing, LeBron. And I try to look around him, Magic Johnson's on the other side. I can't see over him neither," Tucker says in the video. "And I'm like, 'y'all know y'all tall why y'all sitting up in the front seat? And me and LeBron almost got into a fight."

Magic eventually tried to make peace between the two but as Tucker described, he was having absolutely none of it.

"And Magic got into it like 'Come on, Chris he just got to LA man. Let him live... You ain't got to see the pastor, Chris,'" Tucker said. "And I said 'Nah, you not gonna smooth talk me with your great attitude. It's just ridiculous. "I'm glad you're in church, but sit in the back row, man. You're too tall to be sitting in the front. That's all I'm complaining about."  

It's a good thing the two didn't actually fight because I think we all know who would have won that.
