Utah Jazz guard Rodney Hood didn’t want footage of his ejection going viral on Wednesday night, so he tried to take matters into his own hands to prevent that from happening.
Hood was ejected from Wednesday’s game against the Wizards after picking up his second technical foul, and he really wasn’t interested in having a fan record video of him walking off the court. So, Hood elected to slap the cell phone out of the fan’s hand as he made his way to the locker room.
