Draymond Green kicks player in the nads

[svblue]

based on how mad he gets I would have thought Izzo would have done it first -
Not sure it would have been an opposing player either

This guy is a good player with a big mouth and no class but was a star at MSU. Izzo is a great coach but to many of his players pull some bonehead stunt like this. You have to wonder how much was covered up while they were in school?

It looked intentional from my viewpoint. I think the NBA is in a tough spot. They don't want to impact the outcome of the series but I think the 'kick' deserves a one-game suspension.

Does the NBA have the balls to do it? Maybe they should give Goodell a call and see what he thinks.

Two nut kicks in a series, and the NBA is cool with it. Amazing.

More alarming, where were they guy's teammates? I can imagine what would have happened if Pippin kicked Laimbeer in the nuts back in the 80s. Would have been a brawl for sure.

In one sense, winning by 28 is good revenge.

But yeah --- different game vs. a generation ago. Everyone made a rightfully big deal about "Malice at the Palace", but I can still remember this 1990 Sixers/Pistons game where the fight spilled into the stands, it honestly could have been worse. But the fight was viewed as no big deal at the time!

I guess the NBA now has said if you 'flail' your limbs going to the basket then you can I guess hit your opponent?

The NBA should just come out and say we don't want to alter a series rather than try and spin the Green 'kick'.

Izzo would have to have a trampoline to kick someone in the nads--- someone had to chime in with the short joke

That kick was so intentional. He should've been suspended for a game.
