Right so far.
>Shaq spun in towards the paint (to his right) & put the ball up.
Shaq's back was to the hoop/paint, he wheeled to his left and into the paint where Hudson (Minn point guard, 2ND defender) had established legal guarding position outside the arc.
>Arc was not a consideration - 1 on 1.
Hudson is small....maybe you didn't see him?
>The defender had obviously established legal guarding position. There was almost no contact that I could see on the shot (might have been an earlier clearout on the spin I missed though, who knows).
You are right, there was little contact with the primary
defender, but Shaq leveled Hudson.... no flop there, Hudson
giving away 200 lbs.
>It was Shaq's second early in the game so he went & took a break.
Yup, that's the one.

Hmmm...now I would really love to see the play again, we saw everything the same except I don't recall Hudson getting squashed, I didn't even see him. (Now you know why I get all the BIG games!
)
