LeBron James is easily one of the most famous athletes in the entire world. Consequently, there are a lot of people out there who would love to speak with him. Whether it be haters or fans, there isn't a shortage of words waiting to be said to the Lakers superstar. Overall, this can certainly create a security concern. Wherever LeBron goes, he has to be cognizant of the fact that someone could try to get into contact with him, whether positive or negative. On Monday, he saw that first hand.
Prior to the Lakers' game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, LeBron was taking part in the warm-up. At one point, he went over to the bench. This is when a fan subsequently came up to him and grabbed his arm. It was all very sudden and it was very obvious that he should not have been there. In footage obtained by TMZ, LeBron could be seen shoving the fan away and sharing some words. From there, security came in and took the fan out of the situation.
