We definitely disagree. If he wanted to go for his head, it would have been MUCH more visible. This was a swipe for the ball. A swipe that might have been too strong, sure, but a swipe nonetheless.
It doesn't matter if it was "nowhere near the ball", guys make attempts like that all the time.
Nobody swings at a basketball by throwing their elbow forward (at a guy's head no less). If you can watch it frame by frame, give it a try, it looks pretty obvious to me.
