If you ever get a look at the movie "Blue Chips," you'll see Shaq dunking the game-winner at precisely :00.0. Shaq was in slow motion, yet the clock in the lower right corner ran down normally. I wonder if Shaq used his Kazaam magic to make that happen.

Another one: One of my favorite series was The Wonder Years. There was a basketball story in one of the later episodes, where Kevin Arnold's high school team lost a big playoff game, filmed at the L.A. Sports Arena. The year was 1972, but that didn't stop the clock from counting down in tenths of seconds.

I was told I'm the only one who notices such things. Isn't that a good thing in an official?
