Let the record show that Jeff Green’s foot was stepped on.
During Tuesday’s loss against the Los Angeles Lakers, the Wizards forward was sent stumbling backward after Lance Stephenson accidentally stepped on his foot.
That being said, it was still a remarkable highlight.
Stephenson drained a jumper in the first quarter moments after he sent Green failing, causing the Los Angeles Lakers bench to erupt.
The clip is worth seeing for the celebrations alone:

Green took the fall in stride when speaking to reporters after the game:
Reporter: Lance Stephenson clearly stepped on your foot. Can you confirm? Jeff Green, with a smile and a few laughs: “I can confirm that he did step on my foot, but run with it. I don’t care. He ‘crossed me,’ if that makes everybody happy.” pic.twitter.com/YkztyUOwoA
