How about the great move by Jermaine O'Neal after he had a dunk attempt blocked?

I just went and watched the highlights on SportsCenter. It was dumb, but it was just frustration, I think. The announcer said that it was called an intentional foul, and that seems right to me. It was obviously intentional, but it didn't seem like an attempt to injure the other player. Just an immature reaction to not getting his way. And these are the people that "earn" millions of dollars a year. Sigh

Chuck you've got to knowthis: An intentional foul is different under FIBA rules than under NHFS or NCAA. If a player isn't trying to play the ball correctly, then it's an Unsportmanlike foul. You might throw down a T on J O'Neal, because it's a contempt towards his opponent, but since there was contact, I guess this was a good call. (BTW: A T is 1 FT + possesion, while a Unsp. Foul is 2Ft's + Possession, so Jermaine probably felt this one better...
