AMEN!!! Somebody finally said it!!!! I get so tired of hearing what a
great player Shaq is......Shaq's is BIG and that's the bulk of his
'talent'.....Just how good would he be if he were only 6 feet tall????
Huh???? He certainly wouldn't be any AI, that's for sure.....
And because of his size, he's able to do with a nudge what other players
do with a shove.....The refs seem only able to call the obvious
shoving-type fouls....They need to learn the definition of
subtlety....Sometimes you can do as much damage with a little effort as
you can with alot and the refs need to learn this...And if they don't
want to learn then maybe there should be a size cap to players....Not
necessarily of height but definitely of weight!!!

If it was allowed, it wouldn't be unfair. It's not allowed in the rules of
the games, but the officials 'respect' star players, that is code for 'let
them break the rules'. I used to think it meant when the play was close
'give them the benefit of the doubt', but it doesn't. Even that is silly,
they should just call it the best they can and stopping looking at who is
playing. But now it is just a joke, just being a much better player, let's
one break the rules almost always.
