In brief, if Shaq can stay in the lane for 6-7 seconds, he'll always have good position. I am watching a Heat vs. Timberwolves NBA game, and TiVo-slow-mo-ed a possession, mid third quarter. Shaq stepped into the paint at 20 seconds (on 24 second clock), and fought for position while the ball whipped around the perimeter. Shaq's feet never left the paint, until 13 seconds were left on the clock. Ummm, the rule, as written, is that 3 seconds is the maximum time allowed. So, where was the whistle? Shaq is already M.D.E., by his estimation, and a perennial MVP, by this writers estimation, why does he need extra help?
