Prior art - nut shots
**Exhibit 1: James Harden and LeBron James**
Was looking at a blooper reel and came across [this](http://i.giphy.com/BXxTTrQ4paGFG.gif). From the video itself, it's clear that Harden received an immediate T. After the game was viewed by league officials, he also received a flagrant 1. Regardless of your view on Draymond's intent, it is beyond obvious that Harden's was intentional.
Harden's foul was not upgraded to flagrant 2 after the fact, nor was he considered for suspension. Based on this, Kerr and Draymond certainly have a case for rescinding the flagrant 2 especially as it could potentially sideline Draymond for a game. Additionally, the fact that the league office did not suspend Draymond was consistent with precedent.
**Exhibit 2: J.R. Smith and Glen Rice, Jr.**
Dellavedova's nut punch on Iggy during tonight's game is similar to when J.R. Smith, then of the Knicks, [punched](http://i.giphy.com/FZ3lTLZlHONZS.gif) Glen Rice Jr. of the Pistons in the nuts during what would be considered incidental contact. He received a one game suspension, but did not receive an in-game foul at all. In fact Rice was called for a blocking foul.
Smith contends that the hit was unintentional and caused by an inadvertent follow through from protecting his dribble. Delly contends that his punch was unintentional and caused by the follow through of attempting to swipe the ball from behind. To be completely fair, Dellavedova's positioning behind Iguodala made it impossible for him to do anything of the sort without fouling Iggy in *some* way, shape or form.
Just as J.R. Smith had no ill intent to injure Rice on the play, I believe that Dellavedova did not intend to injure Iguodala. While I don't agree that a suspension would be in order, to be held consistent with what has happened in other recent situations it seems that an upgrade to flagrant 1 would be the correct call.
**Conclusion**
While Draymond certainly should have received punishment for his actions during the OKC series, the flagrant 1 called at the time of the incident should suffice. It would be quite hypocritical for the league to push for a stronger punishment considering what was dished out from these previous incidents, or for the league not to upgrade Delly's punch to a flagrant 1 as well.
