My reply to everyone who complains about Shaq not getting called for offensive fouls:

I have no problem with the refs calling all of Shaq's offensive fouls, as he does indeed knock people over 4-5 times a game without it getting called.

However, if this is to be the case, then every time Shaq gets hacked on the arm or bumped on the shoulder it should be called too. This happens probably 40-50 times a game without it getting called.

Those of you who are big fans of San Antonio, Sacramento, etc. might think you want all the fouls called in games in which Shaq's involved. However, I don't think this is really what you want. If ALL the fouls both ways were called, Shaq might foul out, but would likely score about 70 points before doing so. What you really want is for the refs to be more slanted against the Lakers.
