Segway tours can be a nice, relaxing way to see a new city. Even for NBA players, it is no different. That is, until you fall off of said segway.

That is what happened to Houston Rockets shooting guard James Harden. While in Barelona, Spain for the FIBA World Cup, Harden took advantage of the downtime to see some of the sights in the city.

One of the tourists saw Harden and decided to film some video of the NBA star. That’s when you see Harden fall off of the segway after maybe hitting the railing on a walkway.

The star guard hit the ground running, and neither Harden nor segway were seriously injured. He gets right back on that horse, and goes about his merry way. You can tell that he was more than a little embarrassed by the incident.

So far in six games of the World Cup tournament, Harden has scored 75 points, grabbed 15 rebounds, dished out 24 assists, blocked two shots, and stolen the ball 15 times while averaging 21 minutes per game.

The United States draws Slovenia tomorrow night in a quarterfinal match, which will be morning here in the states. The winner of that game gets the winner of Turkey and Lithuania in the semifinals.
