If you're thinking about "backing down" in the post, that is not a Shaq-issue. That's a style-of-play issue. The NBA has allowed that back-down to be used by any player that is bigger than his defender. It's not just Shaq; it's also any power-forward who gets a point guard on him after a bad defensive switch.
