    If you think that's not low enough to be shitty. Shaq shot 65% from 3 during 2002 playoffs.

    I'm in the camp that making your free throws is part of the game.

    Hack a Shaq isn't free for the fouling team.

    It adds strategy to the game for both coaches. Keep him in? Foul him?

    Teams intentionally foul to stop the clock. Boring. We get to watch commercials instead of basketball. Where does it end?

    Wilt was horrible at FTs. This isn't new.

    If anything, upping the rosters from 12 who can suit up to 15 is the culprit. Gives 18 more fouls to give. And who wants to watch 13-15 play anyway?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    No, just like Jordan (an excellent free throw shooter) wouldn't have won without Pippen. No player in league history has won titles by themselves. They either had other stars or a very good team around them.

    The NBA just needs to follow hockey and give guys 2 minutes in the penalty box...have to play 5 on 4 for those 2 minutes ...that'll clean it up quick

    I never knew Shaq was such a good 3 point shooter. I guess I need to watch more tape !
