Earlier this week, a Jazz fan was banned from NBA arenas for a year after he attempted to distract James Harden during a game with a laser pointer. TMZ Sports caught up with TNT’s Kenny Smith yesterday and asked him about what happened, and "The Jet" said that there’s no place for fans who do stuff like that. But he also told a story about the time that a female fan tried to distract him while he was shooting a free throw back in college by, well, just listen.

“The craziest thing I ever had in college, a girl comes up, it’s a one-point game, a girl comes up in a trench coat and flashes me,” he said. “The crazy thing is, I never saw it. I was so locked into the rim, but I saw it in the film session. The whole film session fell out like, ‘You didn’t even see it?’ No, I was looking at the rim, man, trying to win.”

Now that is what we call being focused. Check out the clip above to hear Smith talk more about what happened to Harden.
