The time an OU football player talked smack to LeBron, and lost

You know that ridiculous 10-point run LeBron went on right before halftime?

You can thank OU football player Gabe Ikard for that.

Via Brian Windhorst of ESPN.com, a fan started chirping at LeBron from a courtside seat towards the end of the first half, telling him he couldn’t shoot. LeBron proceeded to splash a 3, drill a sick step-back, can a jumper over Thabo and then another 3 right in Perk’s face.

“He told me to shoot it,” LeBron said. “He said, ‘Shoot it, you can’t shoot.’ So I said OK. So I shot it.

“And I made it. And I made another one. And I made another one. And he stopped talking to me.”

Whoops. Fitting I guess that in a big game, a move from an OU football player backfired. I’m assuming it was really all Brent Venables’ fault though.

Props to Ikard though who hilariously owned it on Twitter:

LeBron 1, Gabe Ikard 0. Or really, LeBron 10, Ikard 0. Maybe next time though don’t rile up LeBron. Better yet, give your seat to Jimmy Goldstein or something.
