NBA mechanics are NOTHING like college and HS mechanics, getting the best angle to see a play is VERY IMPORTANT (hence why they started using flex rotation a few years ago) and in the lead runs over to get a better angle at a play and no one else adjusts he just runs back to his side. You'll also see new trails comeing down the court in a 2 man trail type line. Thier mechanics manual emphasises postion and getting the best angle. An NBA evaluator told me. "to get the play right you have to see the whole play at the correct angle." Watching the NBA officials wont do much for your mechanics but it'll do a whole lot to work on your court presence and presentation.

FYI: The rules for Shaq are the same for everyone else.
