Laimbeer didnt punch people in the balls
Laimbeer & many other enforcers mostly gave hard fouls to guys in the paint although that was legislated out of the game .
Green is such a scumbag that I'm actually defending Bill Laimbeer. Jeez.

What Laimbeer did was not part of the game, and were not considered good or hard playoff fouls. Sure there were some sprinkled in there, but overall, what he was doing was the start of Detroits bad boys image. He was widely known throughout the league for being a goon, who was fouling to hurt players, and take them out of the game. He was the reason Kevin McHale had broken ankles in the playoffs. He was known all around the league for putting his feet under opposing players feet when they were jumping, so when they'd land they would roll an ankle or get their knees twisted up. Those aren't good "hard/playoff fouls".
There is a clear difference from what he was doing and what other teams around the league were doing. Case in point, the 80's celtics, and 90's NY Knicks.
