Basketball needs to take lessons from hockey. This kind of behavior should be allowed, or, at least, mildly tolerated. Like checking and the general culture of 'enforcers' and fighting.
'He's breaking away! Crossing half-court...driving for the basket...and....OH! Looks like he's been punched in the dick, Jim!'
'Well, Bob, that's what happens when you tangle with the league's leading dickpuncher, Steve McAsshole...and...yes, looks like McAsshole is going to have to spend a minute in the penalty box for utterly devastating his opponent's nads.'
You know, then he gets out of the box, and has to face the other team's dickpuncher. They throw down their wristbands and proceed to hammer each others balls until one of them is left lying on the court in the fetal position.
That is the kind of basketball I would watch.
