During Tuesday's Rockets-Jazz game, James Harden got tangled up with Utah's Chris Johnson, causing Harden to somersault out of bounds and to a halt when his sneakered foot landed in the lap of a cameraman sitting along the baseline.

There was obviously no ill-will in Harden's collision. Still, it calls to mind the infamous January 1997 Rodman incident when the then-Chicago Bulls forward kicked a cameraman in the junk, leading to an 11-game suspension and a $200,000 settlement.
