What the heck was a high-school basketball referee thinking when he posed for a picture with LeBron James and asked the prep phenom for his autograph just moments after officiating James' game in Trenton, N.J.?
C'mon, everyone is posing with LeBron these days.
A. "I just discovered this great new website called eBay.com."
B. "What's the big deal? It's not like I accepted a free Wes Unseld throwback jersey valued at $425."
C. "What's the big deal? It's not like I went out and bought a new $50,000 Hummer and tried to pass it off as a birthday present from my mom."
D. "What's the big deal? It's not like I did it before the game."
E. "What's the big deal? It's not like I'm the first adult to lose his mind when he comes within 10 feet of LeBron."
F. "What's the big deal? It's not like I dangled a baby off my hotel balcony."
