Hitting LeBron would be a career-ender. Not because LeBron would retaliate, but because the NBA will be under fire to can you haha.
Has J.R Smith been very important to the Cavs this year? If Harden did something like that...I would probably want to purposefully push the series to 6 games so that the games would start ticking off his suspension. lol
Probably joking, right? LeBron doesn't have that much power. If someone straight up decked him in the face they would face suspension as if they hit anyone else
Feel bad for Crowder, even if he talks trash a lot and overplays physically sometimes - it's a playoff damn..throwing punches is the other story If he got knee injury I think J.R. should be suspended for remainder of the season + solid fine, no matter that C's are done this year - it was clearly intentional hit and Jae did nothing wrong on that play, J.R. did not apologize or whatever and any kind of injury would just add on on what he did.
Are NBA players even subject to assault charges? If JR Smith started beating the hell out of someone could he not be criminally charged? Or does the NBA lawyers work in arbitration internally to resolve any violent acts toward another player?
Let's say your CO-woker at work throws a punch at you, you pass out, you get leg injury, all was filmed on cam. Do you sue him? Don't answer...
