Chris Paul once punched Hodge below the belt during their NCAA days.
Link
"In the last regular-season game of the 2005 ACC season, Paul threw a below-the-belt punch that floored Julius Hodge of North Carolina State. The refs didn't see the blow, and Paul went on to beat the Wolfpack with a runner at the buzzer."

This is extremely common knowledge.
Any regular readers/posters/basketball enthusiasts not know this?

We could have FAQs for various players - e.g., Hodge would have this story, the link to the quotes site, etc.
Still value in a re-post I guess as there will always be others who didn't see it the first time around.

You can find a video of this punch on YouTube.
On the subject of star NBL players being sucker-punched by NBA superstars, Rick Rickert was schooling Kevin Garnett during an off-season pickup game, so Garnett decked him.

Someone should make a looping video of the hit and play some hilarious Benny Hill music in the background to accommodate it.
Hi-larious.
