Sometimes star players think they could get away with dirty plays.

That was the case Wednesday night, when Chris Paul hit Kevin Durant below the belt during the Los Angeles Clippers-Oklahoma City Thunder game.

Although CP3 got away with it during the game, the New York Daily News is reporting that the Clippers' All-Star point guard could be punished by the NBA.

What's crazy is hitting players in their nether region is something Paul has been doing since his college days at Wake Forest, as evidenced by below-the-belt punch on Julius Hodge back in the day.

And he took the habit into the NBA, delivering this groin shot on Chris Kaman last April.

It's like it's his go-to, foul-play move. 

Let's see how the NBA responds. The Clippers host the New York Knicks on Friday night.
