Wallace blocks Shaq - Was it a foul?
Everyone has seen the replay of Ben Wallace's block on Shaq the other night. What's your opinion? Legal block and good no-call, or the officials should have called the body contact? Or who cares other than fanboys?

Kazaam!
Shaq "Jumped the Shark" on that play. Five years from now, it's clip they show that indicates the beginning of the end for the Big Aristotle.

I agree with BadNews. I don't think it was even close to being a foul.

It was, quite frankly, one of the greatest blocks on Shaq ever made in the league. A foul? HELLLLLLLLLLLL NOOOOOOOO!!

That marvelous block was completely good luck.
Ben left the ground 10 minutes before Shaq started U.P.
If there was a feint, ... Ben is still flying....

Man, those nets were smokin' from that White Hot.

Go Tigers !

Yeah. I think so, too, JR.
They were pretty much preparing themselves in the Cleveland series.
And, a dozen games of shooting bricks had an effect toward keeping them humble.
