The NBA may have given Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green a one-game suspension for hitting LeBron James in the groin area, but don't expect Hall of Famer Charles Barkley to criticize him.
"When a guy steps over you, you have a moral obligation to punch him in the balls," Barkley said on SiriusXM Bleacher Report Radio's NBA Sunday Tip. "Because that's really disrespectful to step over a guy. You're supposed to pop him in his junk if he steps over you like that."
The league issued Green a retroactive flagrant-1 foul for striking James in the groin with a little under three minutes remaining in Golden State's 108-97 win in Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Friday. James received a retroactive technical foul for his actions, which included stepping over Green and jawing in his direction.
"That's a perfectly fine response," Barkley said. "You got to act like you didn't try to do it; I will admit that. When somebody steps over you, they're doing that intentionally to rub it in your face. They're deliberately trying to punk you in that situation."
