    Only "aggressive" because he was playing against Spain. He doesn't do this against NBA players.

    It was a pathetic act on his part. The trash talk was even worse, as it just solidified the fact that he's NOT tough.

    He proved absolutely nothing and came away looking like a sore loser. Go Nic.

    How many games did Ariza get for almost killing Rudy? How many games did Bynum get for his cheap shot against JJ Barea? His cheap shot against Gerald Wallace? His cheap shot against Beasley? All were much worse than what Nico did. Nico's punch wasn't potentially career threatening.

    Sorry, forgot. They were Lakers. My bad.

    Ariza didn't do shit to Rudy, it was barely even a normal foul, no way it should have been flagrant. I'm so tired of everyone perpetuating this false claim.

    Bad sportsmanship. Cheap shot.

    I'm not overly concerned about it, but punching a guy in the crotch rarely makes someone tough. It makes them bush league.

    Chris Paul had one of the best nut punches back in college on Julius Hodge.

    Chris Paul is bush league.

    Don't forget Ray Allen elbowing Varejao directly in the nards on purpose, also. Neither player was going for the basketball, LOL.

    Looked pretty obvious to me that Batum was going maliciously at the basketball.

    The best groin punches ever were Golota. He's the king.

    JCN didn't disrespect one of my home town club's legends, so I couldn't care less about him; Hodge did, and I will forever be pissed at him.

    Maybe Tony Parker took a quote from Popavich and told Nic "we need some nasty!".
