Somehow a primary storyline of the NBA playoffs is emmaleviathan amateur sex videosthe same as the subject of viral videos in the early days of YouTube: nut shots. That's right, hits to the groin have been a central part of the ongoing first round of the NBA playoffs.
It started with Game 3 of the Philadelphia 76ers vs Brooklyn Nets. Star Sixers center Joel Embiid fell to the ground and got stepped over by Nic Claxton, traditionally considered a big sign of disrespect in the NBA.
