Harden suspended 1 game for kicking Lebron

[wildturkey]

Really? A suspension? It wasn't even a real kick. They were in scrum and it was more of a "hey, get off me" move to push him away. Lebron and Beverly going at it was worse than that

Who kicks in basketball? Funny how players get in scrums all the time but harden is the only one who think it was necessary to use his foot? weird right

That's not worth a suspension though. Ezeli and Hansbrough got into an actual fight a couple of days ago and Ezeli got one game. That was way worse than this.

Well the nba set the standard on this a few years ago when wade got suspeneded for the same thing. They would have look pretty bad if they did not suspend him and sure Lebron would have made mention of that since he was on Wade's team when that happened. Can't have different rules when it comes to flagrant/suspensions for different players

Not worth a suspension at all but since the NBA is suspending him why not LeBron as well? I mean send a message, this is not tolerated period... But that's right LeBron can do no wrong

I love people who hate LeBron so much that he gets kicked in balls and it is okay..lol..NBA rules are clear this is a game suspension period..Harden should have been tossed but wasn't...so he had to get a game..as for the game the Rockets might be the dumbest team in league..what have they won that makes it okay for them to be so whiny ....Beverly is a punk and is eventually going to cost his team a game or games with his actions..or he is going to hurt someone...so if you need to hate LeBron go ahead but to say the suspension is unwarranted is just plain dumb.

Can't be kickin' the King in his scepter.

LeBron is the golden boy of the NBA.

Yep, LeBron gets special treatment.

Poor LeBron had his balls bounced...

lol

 

[Arizona_Sting]

I think him kicking LBJ in the nuts should give him a boost in MVP voting.

That's for sure. Dude should have fouled out of how many games over the years yet gets nothing.

Lebron put a little extra in his reaction, says Jalen Rose. I agree! No way you recover 2 seconds afted getting kicked in the balls.

Suspend LeBron for what? Its a sincere question, wtf are you talking about?

I love how people think they can watch a replay of a video and think they know exactly how much contact, force, and pain was involved in the collision.

I mean, it always annoys with a lot of the "flopping" videos (which are usually much more inconclusive than generally thought)... but now we're taking it to the level of judging the force and reaction of a kick to the balls?!? Lord have mercy.

Kicking someone in the groin is not a basketball move according to lebron. Says the guy that can't seem to stop flopping.

Definitely played it up. I doubt there was any real contact with his junk, probably just a close call that scared him because LBJ immediately goes to get back into the melee.

 

[gordontrue]

Kicking someone in the groin is not a basketball move according to LeBron anyone.

FIFY

Quit letting blind hatred of "decison 2010" from 5 years ago still affect judgement.

Harden purposely kicked him the balls.

It doesnt matter that he was unable to get any force behind it....he did it.

He should have been tossed from the game. 1 game suspension seems right.

And no, it doesn't happen all the time....
