BET.com’s PLAYA HATER blog catches up with 17-year-old Anthony Erskine, the guy who ran onto the court during Wednesday’s Knicks-Cavs game to have a word with his hero, LeBron James. And a word it was. “I said, “Yo, LeBron, what’s up? I just wanted to meet you, I love the way you play,’” said Erskine, before getting hauled off by security. Here’s the clip:

Erskine was arrested and spent three hours in jail before getting bailed out by his sister. Not a total loss, though. LeBron did respond, “Oh all right, that’s cool.” He’ll never wash those ears again.

And LeBron was even affected, being kind of choked up afterwards, saying, “It was a great feeling. You get a fan to come down there to express the way he feels about you … told me I was his favorite player, that never happens. I respect him. I respect his pride and for him to come out there and tell me something like that face to face. It’s like the (most) unbelievable thing that ever happened to me.”

You know, not great enough a feeling to stop security from arresting the little trespassing punk, but still great.
