NBA: Shaq: Dirty player or not?

[cycopath25]

Anyone else see him take out Stuckey last night? Shaq claims he isn't a dirty player, but I might beg to differ.

He's getting so immobile anymore that's about all he's got left is to push.

Over the years he has not been a dirty player, but that was a cheap shot worthy of ejection. The officials got this one right, it will be interesting to see if a suspension and fine follow.

Wow - he just can't jump anymore. The announcers did have a good point in that he's so strong, even a block can look like a flagrant foul.

I think it was dirty. He throw both hands down hard on Stucky, practically grabbing him by the wrists. The worst part is him trying to use physics to justify his foul.
