Basketballs are big, heavy things and anyone who has copped a chest-pass straight to the face will tell you that those thing seriously hurt, so imagine what it's like when LeBron James flings one in your direction..
Then imagine taking that ball full force directly to an extremely delicate area.. It's not a nice thought, is it?
Well sadly that thought became a reality for Los Angeles Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell, who was left writhing in agony after an incident that will make your eyes water..
Won't someone please think of the children?
That really is as nasty as it gets in terms of nut-shots. You can see the moment his stomach enters his mouth, an unforgettable feeling for anyone who was the victim of a 'sack-tap' in school, which we assume is every male reader of this site.
Our thoughts go out to D'Angelo Russell, and while he did eventually recover, the mental scars will likely last a lifetime.
