In order to get a courtside seat for a Cavaliers-Thunder game you will have to pay a pretty penny, but professional golfer Jason Day’s wife Ellie Day paid for the experience in a different way: getting toppled by a 260 pound LeBron James diving for a basketball.
Midway through the fourth quarter of the Cavs-Thunder game in Cleveland last night, James dove to save a ball from going out of bounds after a jump ball and lost his balance falling on Day and taking her and himself to the ground
