Carmelo Anthony took a cheap shot to the groin during Team USA's 126-97 win over Argentina on Monday in an Olympic preliminary round game.
Argentina's Facundo Campazzo delivered the punch to the groin while Anthony was taking a three-point shot with less than four seconds left in the third quarter. Anthony went down to the ground immediately in obvious pain, but his shot went in.
No foul was called on the play as the referees did not see it, but hopefully the play will be reviewed and Campazzo will receive some type of discipline for his unsportsmanlike behavior.
