NBA playoffs: WATCH James Harden SNAP at Utah Jazz fan as police intervene
ONE NBA fan got more than he bargained for when they attempted to rattle James Harden.
Harden smacks fan's phone after an insult is thrown at him
The Utah Jazz were playing the Houston Rockets in Game 2 of their NBA playoffs series on Wednesday night as Harden’s Rockets suffered a 116-108 defeat.
And one Jazz fan caused a stir at the Toyota Center with his heckling of the 28-year-old.
A fan named Jason Glad posted a video on Facebook of himself telling Harden: “You’re still the worst flopper in the NBA.”
And, unsurprisingly, Harden didn’t take too kindly to the comment as he attempted to slap the phone out of the fan’s hand.
That prompted the police to come over to the fan and warn him not to aggravate Harden anymore.

But that wasn’t the only incident with Harden and the fan, as can be seen below.
Another clip surfaced on social media showing Harden again heading from the court to the changing rooms when Glad decides to heckle again.
And as Harden follows his team-mates he can’t help but quickly thrust his face in Glad’s direction to try and scare him.
