People can be the worst sometimes.

During Monday night's Houston Rockets victory in Salt Lake City, James Harden noticed a Utah Jazz fan shining a laser pointer at him while he was at the free-throw line.

James Harden not happy with some fan using a laser pointer during his FTs.

Harden pointed out the fan to security, who was then ejected from Vivint Smart Home Arena.

"Some guy was lasering me," said Harden, according to the Houston Chronicle. "I saw it the first time and I thought it was a picture being taken. I went to the foul line again and it happened again. The referee (Tom Washington) caught it before I did. That's the first time that happened to me."

The culprit has been banned from NBA arenas for one year.
