The LA Lakers' Halloween clash with the Rockets yesterday spooked the entire basketball world after a LeBron James<\/a> lookalike had fans seeing double.<\/p>\n

During the Lakers' 95-85 win over Houston, viewers were sent into a frenzy when cameras captured the moment a courtside fan showed an uncanny resemblance of the 206cm NBA superstar.<\/p>\n

The moment broke the internet, which then came to the attention of James himself several hours after the match.<\/p>\n

The four-time NBA champion laughed and appeared to agree on all of the social media reaction.<\/p>\n

"AYO!! True definition of two places at the same damn time!!" James tweeted.<\/p>\n

"Somebody tell Pat C if he wants to be me for Halloween just ask me. LOL."<\/p>\n

Following James' tweet, the man behind the lookalike emerged.<\/p>\n

Known as Patrick Christopher, a local designer, he admitted his phone blew up after the image trended on social media.<\/p>\n
