It clearly wasn't a basketball move, as Lebron stated. I think he should be.

There is precedence in a situation like the one involving Harden and James. Miami's Dwyane Wade was suspended one game during the 2012-13 season for kicking Ramon Sessions in the groin with his shin,

Also, should this rule Harden out of MVP talks? Again, I think so. I'm sure I'm in the minority but I don't believe any person suspended for this type of behavior should be awarded a MVP award.

Basketball has become a sport of pansies.

Suspended yes. Out of MVP talks wtf???? Dude got caught up in the moment. I don't care if he dropped to his knees and treated his balls like a speed bag, it's one instance in an 82 game season.

Yes.

But, the most ridiculous play Harden made was when he hooked Lebron's arm. That was embarrassing.

As a huge LBJ guy and rocket fan, I though harden went to "block/defend" himself with his leg and just so happened to be against the Kings nads. It didn't look like an outright kick, but there did appear to be some contact. But you can suspend him if there's a precedent for groin kicking

There will be some conflicting schools of thought on this one. On one hand, you have a lot of people here who strongly dislike the Rockets and will say "yes" knowing full well you are making a bigger deal than it should be.

On the other hand, you are notorious for being a dumbass and siding with you likely means it's time to recondiser one's thoughts on the situation.

I'm gonna go with yes, although I might be biased.

ETA: shouldn't be taken out of MVP consideration, though Curry will win it anyway

Yes, but LeBron should be suspended for trying to bully Pat Beverly...

This Rockets team and their odd fascination with penis. They kick them on the court and Dwight grabs them on the bench.

I don't know. I will admit that he did kick him, but it didn't look malicious. It looked more to me like he just stuck his foot out in panic because he was being swarmed and it happened to hit LBJ in the groin.

I could see both sides to the argument of why he should or shouldn't.

This is just stupid. You are clearly just a Harden hater and making a bigger stink over it that you should.

I agree it would be asinine to remove him from talks; but I was listening to the radio last night, and people were legitimately griping about the game Harden had yesterday and knighting Lebron even though he played like doodoo. Public perception is everything when it comes to these awards. This is certainly not going to help The Beard, as idiotic as that might be.
