James Harden kicks LeBron James in the groin (GIF)



Houston Rockets guard James Harden kicked Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James in the groin during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game at the Toyota Center.

Harden had fallen to the ground with the ball, and James was trying to grab the ball from him.  Harden kicked his leg out directly at James' crotch and was immediately given a flagrant foul.

Harden and James finished the game with very similar stats.  Harden scored 33 points and had 5 assists, while James scored 37 points and dished 4 assists.  Both players had 8 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks. 

Someone had to win, however, and in the end, the Rockets beat the Cavs 115-113 in overtime.  James missed two free throws with 4.2 seconds left in OT that would have tied the game.

UPDATE:  Harden has been suspended 1 game for the groin kick on James.
