LeBron Fan Talks About Incident at MSG
Published by Marcus Vanderberg on Thursday, March 6, 2008 at 10:13 am.
If you saw the highlights of the Knicks-Cavaliers game last night, you probably saw Anthony Erskine, the 17-year-old fan who ran out on the court to talk to LeBron James.
“I have liked LeBron James since 2002 and I have always wanted to meet him,” said Erskine who spoke to BET.com Thursday morning. “It was the first time I saw him in person and I didn’t think I would ever have a chance to meet him.”
Not only did Anthony get the chance to meet him, he even got to share a few words with King James.
“I said yo LeBron, what’s up? I just wanted to meet you, I love the way you play,” said Erskine.
The 6-foot-8, 250 pound James, clearly not worried about being attacked, told Anthony “Oh alright, that’s cool.”
The next thing Anthony knew, security grabbed him and escorted him to the back.
The NYPD was called and he was arrested and spent three hours in jail before his sister bailed him out.”
I told a few friends that I was going to meet LeBron, everyone thought I was just saying that.”
“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,” said James. “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.”
If Anthony had the opportunity to do it again, would he?
“Honestly, I would. He’s my favorite player.”
If you missed the incident last night, you can watch the clip below.
That fool should be locked up, aint no way you should run up on anybody you don’t know like that. Lebron could have punched him in the face out of fear then been locked up.. People are groupies these days, he is a regular guy that puts pants on just like everyone else.. Get a grip dawg, you a grown man!!!!
I just want to say that Anthony am so proud of you. Way to see an opportunity and go for it. You make all us true fans very, very proud!!!!
And A.I (if that was really you)……I just want to say that I LOVE YOU!!!!! I even named my puppy Iverson I love you so much!! (Yeah…my husband talked about me a little.)
Way to go Anthony!!!!
I wanna tell all the haters don’t hate on my little brother, you only get to live once and no LBJ did not punch him, apparently he thought it was brave so stop hatin yall just mad that a 17yr old got balls more than some of you older men.( ERNEST)
NUFF RESPECT ME BOY ANTHONY
U a ture JAMAICAN
love kimeyan
:)
You cant be that ignorant to think ur gonna walk on to the court and try and “talk” to Lebron of all players. This dude should have stayed in jail longer, hopefully he’s banned from attending any more games ever. He’s lucky he didnt get shot down by NYPD. IDIOT AWARD for real!
Anthony you sir are an idiot. A true NBA fan knows that sh*t aint cool. You shoulda got tasered and tackled to the ground.
“I like Lebron, I’m gonna introduce myself”
you gotta be kidding
I THOUGHT THAT WAS GREAT AND IF YOU LOOK AT LEBRON HE GAVE HIM HIM THE OK AND THAT IT WAS COOL AT THE END
@ LOVETHISGAME AND DUMB LEBRON THOUGHT IS WAS NICE WHO CARES WHAT YOU DUMMIES THINK !!!
These young NBA players as good as they may be, Lebron, Kobe etc. does not possess the charisma, support and respect that the Michael Jordans, Magic, Byrd achieved, that is why he was able to gain open access to Lebron on the Court! Unless you have wooed the WORLD with your skills like the greats have your gona be easy access!!
this is me anthony and for everyone who doesnt know me, i ran on the cort because i really admire lebron james and if u think im a fool then fine so be it. im glad i did what i did because who knows if ill EVER SEE HIM AGAIN!!!
king james should have bailed em’ out if he was so suprised…man i think that lebron is good and mayb even great but he is overrated kobe is better than him mayb not by much but he is better
Lmao!!! Male groupie for real!! Havn his jersey on wasn’t enough? 3 words anthony, buy a poster!!! U can always see him then!! Lmao!!! Wow!!!
any u r the man I wish I had ya courage forreal
That is Terrible…… I’m mad i no this kid. Def still cute though I use to run up to him like that when he was in the courts at Hardly Park… Terrible!
i thought it was sweet, a bit crazy though LOL but still sweet. at least you were able to express to your model that you respect him, others would wait a lifetime before doing such. i just can’t seem to understand why the hell security got all defensive. i’ll end this note by saying that you have a lot of guts, care to share some (i want to meet Obama)
