Kent Bazemore takes nasty spill after collision with LeBron James image

Hawks wingman Kent Bazemore took a nasty fall Friday night against the Cavs. 

The 6-6, 201-pounder tried to go up for what would've been a thrilling dunk, but it didn't end well for him at all.  

He landed awkwardly on his back after colliding with LeBron James, when the four-time MVP positioned himself in the paint and attempted to take a charge but wound up being whistled for blocking. Only a behemoth like LeBron could give up his body and wound doing more harm to the aggressor as a result.

Amazingly, Bazemore was able to get up, hit a pair of free throws and was later taken out the game.
