Gabrielle Union calls out NBA, wants James Harden suspended for kicking LeBron James
James Harden kicked LeBron James in the man region in Sunday’s game between the Rockets and Cavaliers and resident NBA expert Gabrielle Union is not happy about it.
Gabrielle Union is mad as hell and she’s not gonna take it anymore.
The wife of Dwyane Wade and one of the stars from the classic cheerleading flick, Bring It On, easily one of the top 50 movies about cheerleading, took to twitter to take some shots at the NBA and James Harden after he got away with a kick to the groin of LeBron James.

During the third quarter in the Houston Rockets win over the Cleveland Cavaliers when James couldn’t hit a free throw to save his life, Harden planted his foot into the nether region of the four-time MVP and she thinks the NBA needs to suspend him.
She references the 2012 suspension of her boo who was suspended for a knee to the groin of Ramon Sessions. Better yet, Union managed to throw NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in front of the oncoming bus in the process
Union sent out a series of tweets on Monday afternoon about the incident:
? If the NBA doesn't suspend Harden a game lk @DwyaneWade will he get $ bk since they pullin a Goddell & administering punishment unevenly?

If that's the case cuz it would suck not to have Harden vs the Hawks... D would happily take the hypocrisy in cash please

It's not about Bron vs Beverly. NBA set a precedent of discipline 4 an even less obvs infraction in an untelevised game so #whattheygonnado

I personally wanna see Harden play against the Hawks, like most ppl. But w/out Harden, ratings for that game go down soooo #whattheygonnado

PS doesn't take a man or rocket scientist 2 pt out the obvs... cuz ya know my UCLA education kicks n sometimes & I formulate my own thoughts

It doesn’t take a UCLA educated person to realize to read between the lines here. Union thinks the NBA won’t suspend Harden because it will hurt the bottom line of the league and television ratings will suffer if Harden, the front-runner for the MVP, isn’t on the court to attract viewers.
And please think before you tweet at her because she’s willing to throw down behind 7-11.
To all the thumb thugs, either unfollow or meet me behind the 7-11. I'll be the one takin off my earrings & applyin vaseline

Well, that was certainly something, wasn’t it?!
Basically, don’t mess with Union when it comes to matters of the heart, like her husband losing money for a suspension, and kicks to the family jewels.
Maybe NBA commissioner Adam Silver can find a spot for her on some leadership council.
