"Unacceptable flagrant 2... I'm not labeled as a dirty player. I didn't hit [Royce O'Neale] in the private area... I don't even think it was a foul... That can't happen."

七六人季後賽首輪G3到籃網主場踢館,費城雙星都出現「攻擊」對手下體的動作,引發爭議,不過涉嫌「踢蛋」的一哥恩比德(Joel Embiid)只領到1級惡意犯規,出手擊打對手鼠蹊部的哈登(James Harden)則直接被驅逐出場。哈登賽後出面喊冤,強調自己沒有打別人下體,且從來就不是一個骯髒的球員。

東區第3種子七六人今日作客籃網,挺過第3節被反超差點「翻船」的危機,終場以102比97有驚無險收下勝利,以3勝0敗聽牌。但陣中雙星卻惹出爭議,先是一哥恩比德首節不甘受「胯下之辱」,出腳踢了籃網小將克拉克斯頓(Nic Claxton)的下體,領到一次1級惡意犯規。

哈登也在第3節持球進攻時,面對歐尼爾(Royce O’Neal)的防守,出手打到對方的鼠蹊部附近,裁判重新審視畫面後,給了哈登一次2級惡意犯規,直接驅逐出場,這個判決讓他本人與恩比德都感到相當困惑。
哈登賽後喊冤,直言無法接受自己領到2級惡意犯規被趕出場,「我也不是那種被貼上『骯髒球員』標籤的人,我沒打歐尼爾的私密部位,我甚至不覺得自己有犯規,這種事不該發生。」
涉嫌「踢蛋」的恩比德賽後則笑說,自己什麼都不記得了,「就像我說的,我們現在3勝0敗領先。老實說,我不記得那個回合了。」顯然不願多談。
"I don't know. I don't remember. Like I said we're up 3-0, we move on... I honestly don't remember the play."

為何都是攻擊對手下體,恩比德能繼續留在場上,哈登卻被驅逐出場,不少人感到不解,對此主裁判布洛斯(Tony Brothers)親上火線說明,恩比德的動作確實不必要,但那是一次「腿部接觸」,因此沒有升級為2級惡意犯規的必要。
布洛斯解釋,哈登的手直接打到了對手的鼠蹊部,這是不必要且過度的動作,達到驅逐出場的標準;也就是會不會被趕出場,要看裁判是否認定打中鼠蹊部。
