Shaq probably didn't even know someone was behind him.

You left out a few choices that might appeal to some in the community:

e. Who cares about the NBA

f. The Tower Philosophy dictates that we wait to see the outcome of this possibly inadvertent contact.

g. The Chick Hearn Philosophy - "No blood no foul" - dictates this is not even contact.

h. I know what the call is where I officiate but I cannot tell you what to call where you live

i. Why are you looking there anyway?? Who's watching *your* area while you are looking in *mine*???!!

Who ever posted it was an offensive foul should really go and kill themselves.

I can't believe how many racist people are on this forum. How could 5 people come to this website and openly admit that they hate all polls. The Polish people have been through enough in the last 100 years without you guys hating them for no reason. Plus, who couldn't love pierogies?

What? Oh.

Nevermind.

I'll cast a vote for the "depends" category... as in "It depends -- did Shaq just brush him off and go up and power-dunk it???" If so, play on!!!
