Kate Upton and Justin Verlander Attacked by Moondog on Cavaliers' Kiss Cam

To give you an idea of LeBron James’ pull and the bizarro world we now live in, Cleveland has become a Midwestern Mecca of sorts.

Celebrities swarm like locusts to courtside seats at Quicken Loans Arena to watch the Big Three play, making Kate Upton and Justin Verlander’s appearance at Tuesday night’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks less than surprising. 

What’s slightly more notable, however, is the attack Moondog levied on Upton. The Cavaliers mascot ceaselessly mauled the “disheveled” model during a “Kiss Cam” break in the game.

DieHardSport.com posted a Vine of the Kiss Cam moment. Moondog will come for your girl:

Upton and Verlander also took a picture with CC Sabathia, who was there ostensibly fulfilling his mandated celebrity pilgrimage to the promised land of Cleveland:

While Upton’s presence wasn’t exactly a boon for Verlander on the mound this season for the Detroit Tigers, the Cavaliers managed to stave off the Bucks with her sitting courtside.

Cleveland won 111-108, which is exactly what you came here to find out.
