This is why it is so dangerous to foul a player in mid-air.
During last night's game between the Trail Blazers and the Bucks, Portland's Nic Batum drove to the basket but he was ever-so-slightly fouled by Larry Sanders en route.
The contact was not enough to stop the Frenchman slamming the ball home but it was enough to cause Batum to lose body control and he fell very awkwardly to the floor, hitting his head hard on the wooden floor.
It looks very scary but Batum was okay, and completed the game.
