'Bow knows this, and 'bow knows that. Ray Allen introduces his elbow to Anderson Varejao's balls.
It takes balls to play in the NBA. Literally. (We hear women have their own league called the WNBA in which they play something approximating basketball, only it's less exciting.) One of the greatest dangers that exists when you assemble ten behemoths brimming with testosterone to compete on the hardwood is that it will lead to testicle-traumatizing cheap shots. Boston Celtics guard Ray Allen was just suspended one game for a low 'bow he threw at Cleveland Cavaliers forward Anderson Varejao last Sunday.
The extremely fortunate Varejao appears to have saved the lives of his unborn children by catching the elbow with his thighs—either that or his junk is made of leather and steel. Not everyone has been so fortunate. Check out Complex's assemblage of the NBA's most awesome, cringe-inducing low blows, and see if you can prevent your balls from retreating into your stomach...
ROYAL IVEY VS. AARON GRAY'S BALLS
• If Gray's balls could speak (and no, we're not entirely positive they can't), we're sure they'd ask for more than a 20-second timeout. At least a full timeout and some attention from the Milwaukee cheerleaders.
