Los Angeles Lakers guard Josh Hart jumped over the front row in an effort to save the ball against the Minnesota Timberwolves. A fan saw it as an opportunity for a high-five. But things didn't go well as he expected:

As observed, a fan casually extended his hand, hoping that Hart would notice. However, Hart was perhaps too focused on the game at hand and didn't see the fan offering some love.

Yet you can't blame both parties. The fan shelled out thousands of bucks to get courtside seats. He was simply getting his money's worth.

Hart, meanwhile, has been steadily building a reputation as one of the NBA's fiercest competitors. Don't take his high-five snub as a form of disrespect.

Besides, the Lakers are off to a relatively slow start this season. They have the mission of answering to the pressures put on them during the summer when LeBron James — the greatest player in the league today — joined the purple and gold.

And Josh Hart has been one of the key pillars of the Lakers' young core. Through 11 games, he has logged in 12.1 points per game on 47.3 percent shooting from the field and 45.5 percent from downtown.
