Like Samuel L. Jackson said: "Hold onto your butts."
Sports players are known for giving each other a supportive tap on the behind, but it's gotten at least two professional ballers in trouble over the last few days. First, it was reported by after a video circulated showing him slapping the behind of a security officer in the Louisiana State University football team's locker room. He faces charges of simple battery, a misdemeanor.

Another player from a Cleveland team found himself in trouble over a butt tap on Friday (January 17). Cavaliers star Tristan Thompson was ejected from the Memphis Grizzlies . As he waited for players to walk to their prospective areas, Grizzlies forward Jae Crowder—who is also Thompson's former teammate—passed by Thompson before the Cavs baller gave him a tap on the butt.
Crowder turned around as if he was stunned and offended, looking to the referees for a call—and they gave him just that. Viewers were shocked that Thompson was tossed from the game,in the first-half may have played a role since the butt slap would be his second technical. Watch it below and let us know if you agree with the call.
