LeBron Plants One On Fan, Leads Heat To Victory

MIAMI (CBSMiami) - Miami Heat superstar LeBron James is used to making plenty of highlight reels for some of the most spectacular plays in recent NBA history.

But Tuesday night, it was a different kind of highlight, at least for one fan that got James recognized.

LeBron was playing in the fourth quarter when he fell after attempting a driving layup. A fan who was in the front row when LeBron went down began to take a picture of the NBA MVP.

Apparently the fan's moves caught LeBron's attention because as he stood up, he gave the fan a quick kiss on the cheek.

LeBron wasn't done with the higlight reel though, a little later in the game, James almost kissed the rim.

Heat teammate Dwyane Wade threw James a lob towards the basket and it was a little high. James jumped and seemed to keep going up as he caught the ball with his head almost level with the rim and dunked it.
