As  I said earlier, they would have to call that elbow move of Shaq's nad 
his bull rushes.  Then where would his scoring be.  Hard to score from the 
bench, sitting with a couple of offensive fouls.  Which he does with great 
regularity.

Walker also has a move that is an offensive foul (most of the time).  That 
baseline spin move with the hook.  not getting on Walker (who is playing 
much better this year) but he also gets away with some stuff.
