Hack a Shaq Comedy gold

Happened in the first play of the game as per video above as a joke.

Then towards the end of the second half they did it three or four times within 5 seconds of the Suns offense. Did ruin what was a pretty good first up game. At least Shaq went on and sunk the FT's and the Suns got the win.

First one was fine; 2nd one was a definate unsportsmanlike foul; 3rd one should have been a technical; beyond that the coach needs to be called on it.

Nothing stops a stupid play in its tracks then a double-technical on the coach.

Nice Christopher Lee impersonation by Greg Popovich with that beard.

You're right Kent, the start of the game was gold - I think initially Shaq was just bewildered!

However, (I'm only up to halftime in watching the replay) but the debacle before halftime when they were genuine about the hack-a-Shaq (and admittedly closed the gap - so it was effective) was awful. Can somebody explain to me how it serves the game's interests to see this sort of thing.

My vote - its an unsportsmanlike foul (the ball is no tin the vicinity and its deliberate contact not incidental to the game), call it as such and give them 2 and possession and remove the incentive to employ the strategy.

Signing out as Grumpy Old Man!
