Didn't look deliberate to me.

If it was, yes, the league should suspend him. Would they ever? No. Not unless he stabbed someone on the court.

But if it was an accidental stabbing, it'd be OK...

The kickout definitely wasn't a natural act but it was more about drawing a foul than anything else.

Nothing will come of this.

Retroactive flagrant is good enough.  I'd say a flagrant 2, but it will probably be a flagrant 1.

well played and a tp. and was the stabbing motion simply a natural part of his shot?  ;D
I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

that is my guess which is what happened to Green last year.  Of course Green had so many flagrant fouls that it triggered a suspension, but the actual kick did not yield a suspension directly.

Even if LeBron meant it they shouldn't suspend him. The last thing the league needs is LeBron missing game 4.

I'm more ticked that they let Lebron get away with that blatant technical toward the end of the game where he slammed the ball down on the ground after his costly turnover. That's literally always an automatic technical foul for everyone else, even in like high school and college ball.

I mean, the game was pretty much already over at that point, but it's the accumulation of those little things that the superstars get away with that tick me off the most.

Ha! I actually thought the same thing when I saw it.  I got called for it once in CYC after I got fouled on a layup attempt.

Yeah, I also thought the same.  Smart might have been given a double tech.

Yes, for at least a year.
