Shaquille O’Neal is a large man and one of the most difficult players to officiate in the history of the NBA. Players bounce off of Shaq leading to non-foul calls for him, and some cheap foul calls against him.

O’Neal was ejected from the Phoenix Suns game against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday for committing a flagrant two foul on Rodney Stuckey. I think the refs made the wrong call.

When I watch the play I see Shaq trying to go for a huge block and inadvertently getting Stuckey’s arm. I also see a guy trying to send a message to the rest of the league that if you mess with his teammates or bring the ball in the paint, Shaq’s gonna put you on the floor.
