Russell Westbrook Got T'd Up For Kicking An Opponent In The Groin In The Most Original Way Possible

This is going to sound hypocritical since I spent the entire postseason taking Draymond Green to the woodshed (by saying a bunch of mean things about him on the internet) for trying to concuss the head of every penis that came within his 5 foot respect radius, but I don't think Russell Westbrook should have been T'd up here. I know he very likely heel kicked his defender's testicles into his torso on purpose, but he did do in such an inconspicuous way that I would have been just fine letting him slide wth nothing more than an offensive foul.

​I hate flopping just as much as the next fan. We should expect our professional athletes to play through more contact than the kid that shows up to every gym class with the same damn doctor's note. Surely Russell Westbrook wasn't touched enough to warrant flailing his appendages around like a child who was told to "put it back" while walking down the cereal aisle with his mother.

​That said, we also watch sports to see people do things that we are physically incapable of doing and I'll be damned if anyone that is reading this can tell me that they are able to seamlessly take a jump shot while reverse punting the dick of the person directly behind them. Say what you want about the social acceptability of no-look low blows, but don't me what you just watched doesn't require talent. For a second there I thought that this play was merely accidental, and that's a benefit of the doubt that Draymond Green will never get if he keeps making his abuse of genitals look so uncoordinated and athletically unimpressive. 

P.S. I don't think I would ever give Russell Westbrook a technical if I were an NBA official. If him dunking the ball off his own chest into orbit is any indication then I would want no part of drawing the ire of his attitude...
