Shaq did a lot of offensive pushing with his body that other players would have gotten fouls called. When defensive players tried to body up against him many times they got called for a foul. Divac was a victim numerous times. When you allow a player to use his body to push and you don't allow the defensive player the same courtesy you create a virtully ungardable player.
NBA rules should be changed. You should be allowed to knock someone over, or run someone over.
Knocking someone over by contact isn't the same as shoving/pushing someone using your hands or elbows. NBA fouls should be designed to discourage cheap play, dirty play, or skill-less play (e.g. anyone can shove someone). Rules should not be designed to discourage contact. The nature of any sport is contact - if people don't like it, they can watch camel fucking by A-rabs in Iraq.
it doesn't matter on that play a defender is entitled to a space you can't just knock him over that's not basketball. i have seen plenty of offensive fouls called on a post up move like that. The circle is for taking charges on a player driving in, Vlade wasn't setting up to take a charge he was defending a guy posting up and shaq ran him over

Hey Sacramento announcer, if you don't like the Lakers, you don't like NBA Champions!
