Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant accidentally took out a fan in the front row while hustling for a loose ball during Sunday afternoon's game at the Staples Center against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
As the Thunder had an 87-82 lead with just over three minutes left in the fourth quarter, Bryant and Serge Ibaka went hustling towards the sideline for a loose ball. Ibaka managed to dive over an empty seat in the front row where an alert fan was able to move out of the way. Bryant, on the other hand, ran over a man sitting in the front row and knocked him over while sitting in his seat.
Fortunately the fan who took the charge from Bryant appeared to be OK, as he was all smiles afterwards.
The Lakers were given possession of the ball and able to rally for a 114-106 win in double overtime, with Bryant leading the way for the Lakers with 26 points.
