Hack-a-Shaq.......... what a disgrace for the game!

From a fan's point of view this really piss me off, not only this slows down the game, but it also hinders the enjoyment and beauty of watching two great teams battle each other for the right to advance in the playoffs. Honestly, it was kind of sad to see a great defensive team like the Spurs use the Hack-a-Shaq.

The league should change the rules to make the game more enjoyable to watch. This type of tactics should be call for what it is an "intentional" foul. When a player comes up and hugs another player (when he doesn't have the ball), that's an intentional foul.

And the worse part is that this will never stop, it hasn't stop in the last 10 years. Teams will always employ this until the league does something about it.

Hack-a-shaq SHOULD be legal. If Shaq could shoot 50%, nobody would care. How can you compete when there is nobody else to ever live who is as big and good as shaq? You find a weakness, and exploit it. That is free-throw. You have to be able to compete with the most dominant force in sports history!

It's very simple: learn to sink the free throws, they'll stop to do the hack-a-shaq. It's bad for the game? Fuck that, I find insulting that Shaq had won millions of dollars and couldn't make a decent amount of free throws.
