NBA star LeBron James posts video of World Cup final 'streaker'

NBA star LeBron James has given fans a glimpse of the pitch invader who made it onto the field at the Maracana in Brazil during the World Cup final between Germany and Argentina.

The four-time MVP, who recently confirmed that he will return to the Cleveland Cavaliers from Miami Heat, was one of a number of A-list celebrities invited to the match by FIFA.

While television broadcasters avoided showing the pitch invader on air, James filmed the unwelcome guest as he ran onto the field and was eventually brought down by stewards.

The 29-year-old posted the video on Instagram with the message: "Hahaha!! We're going streaking! Everyone's doing it. Man that was hilarious. #WorldCupFinal #Brazil"

The pitch invader had 'Natural Born Prankster' written on his bare chest.
