With “Lebron 4 Prez” written on his back, the man walked out onto the floor during the fourth quarter and was quickly swarmed by police. As he was being handcuffed and escorted out of Quicken Loans Arena, the announcer reminded fans why you don’t go out on the court during an NBA game.
The man was identified as Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, 24, of California. He is aYoutube personality, whose stunt videos have a huge following. He was hit with two misdemeanor charges for entering the court: criminal trespass on a place of public amusement and resisting arrest.

Zdorovetskiy has done similar stunts before, including at the 2014 World Cup Finals.
Hahaha!! We're going streaking! Everyone's doing it. Man that was hilarious. #WorldCupFinal #Brazil

The Warriors won Game 4 to bring them within one win of another NBA Championship. Zdorovetskiy, down one shirt, evened it up with a new pair of handcuffs.
