Two very high-profile stars literally collided at TD Garden on Wednesday night.
In the fourth quarter of the Boston Celtics’ matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Cavs star LeBron James tried to snag an offensive rebound but lost his balance, falling out of bounds under Boston’s basket.
LeBron’s momentum carried him directly into an unsuspecting fan — who just happened to be New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick.
This is not ok …. LeBron attacks Bill Belichick. Still mad about his stint as Browns coach I guesspic.twitter.com/vHXnTTW7dm

Fortunately for Belichick, a poor cameraman took the brunt of James’ charge. But the Internet still had plenty of fun with the impromptu meeting of champions.

Ha, LeBron just fell right into Bill Belichick. The most championship-filled player/fan collision ever maybe.

LeBron taking out of Belichick is a first for Cleveland since 1994.

Don’t get any ideas, LeBron.
