I saw a .gif of the kick from a different angle, more from the defensive side.  He did make an attempt to kick KD but didn't make much if any contact.  I still agree that 1/2 game suspension is adequate.

I disagree honestly to bring up a point if I may. If players are allowed to do these things for whatever reason, then why should not all teams do it. What is a half if you kick a guy in the head and give him a concussion that cost him his career but it is ok he can get a game suspension. How many times does this have to occur before the win at all cost no matter what, coaches get some integrity about them. I DON"T care who it is. If sportsmanship is to be thrown out the window then make it the gladiator game it is meant to be these days. JMHO. Kids need tough love sometimes but these kids are full of glamour and MR better than everybody. RTR!

I don't think he made contact either.  And if he did it would have hurt his foot more than Drake because he would have kicked his helmet.  Still a thug move though.
