Hack-A-Shaq Has Begun!

Ok, so for those of you who don't follow the NBA, let me explain. Shaquille O'Neal is known as one of the worst free throw shooters in the NBA. So, when there is a close game and teams resort to fouling opposing players to save clock time, they will always try to foul Shaq because he is horrible at making his free throws. Anyway, so during last season's playoffs, the Spurs' head coach was employing this strategy, but a lot earlier in the game than usual. Shaq took offense to this and called it "a coward[ly] move." Fast forward to this season, very first game the Spurs are playing the Suns again (Shaq's team) and, as a joke, the coach (giving two thumbs up) tells his team to immediately foul Shaq. Funny stuff! :) Check out the video.
