LeBron James has faced an injury-plagued start to this season which saw him spend some time on the bench. A few games ago, he was seen taking up the role of a pseudo head coach. Since we saw him discussing tactics and giving suggestions to execute plays during the game breaks. He wore a grey outfit in that game.

In tonight’s game against the Rockets, we saw a fan dressed up similar to LeBron’s outfit that day. The fan’s beard and build was enough to have other fans confuse him as LeBron James. Here’s how social media responded to spotting LeBron’s clone in the crowd.
