LeBron James expects NBA to review James Harden below-the-belt kick

Cleveland Cavaliers v Houston Rockets

James Harden got territorial while trying to keep the ball during a Cavaliers trap, and the Rockets guard kicked LeBron James below the waist.

LeBron, via Kristie Rieken of the Associated Press:

“That’s not a basketball play and the league will probably take a look at it,” James said. “I have no idea why he would do that.”

Announcement: ProBasketballTalk’s partner FanDuel is hosting a one-day $275,000 Fantasy Basketball league for Monday’s NBA games. It’s $25 to join and first prize is $20,000. Starts at 7pm ET on Monday. Here’s the FanDuel link.

I’m sure LeBron is right: The league will examine it. The result could go a few different ways, including no action, but my guess is a $15,000 fine.
