Cavs fan sneaks into locker room
Posted: Sunday May 11, 2008 08:56AM ET
A little-known fact of life that helps open many doors is that if you simply look like you know what you're doing, you'll fit right in. Take, for example, the bold and enterprising fan who wandered down to the Cavaliers' locker room before Game 3 at The Q. The fan wore a pass that resembled the credentials that hang around the necks of media members, but the fine print included no media affiliation. No matter. The man still managed to wander into coach Mike Brown's press conference held just outside the locker room, and he not only crowded around Brown with the rest of the reporters, but also couldn't resist asking a question. "Hey, is LeBron going to score 50?" he blurted. Brown appeared flummoxed for a second before responding, "Uh, I hope so." The fan, donning a red "Rise Up" T-shirt that should have been the tip-off that he wasn't a real reporter, then wandered into the Cavaliers' locker room before Cavaliers employees realized he shouldn't be there and chased him out.

Report Offensive CommentWhat is it with Cleveland and security? A few weeks a go they let some crazed fan run on the field and go at Jeter.

Report Offensive CommentIt appears that this guy only crashed the party once and Cleveland got him. There was a guy whom feigned press member for the Mets and it worked for a couple of weeks.

Report Offensive CommentThis happens a lot in professional sports. Good thing the security places get a bunch of money to do nothing.

Report Offensive CommentHaha did he even get in trouble? Because that would be sweet to do all that and then not even get in trouble.

Report Offensive CommentBrown's answer should have been "I doubt it." Maybe they should have found out if this guy can shoot and put him out on the floor the rest of the team stinks.
