In my view, they unofficially changed the rules for Shaq, with the refs allowing him to shove and muscle his way to the basket in a way that would have been called as an offensive foul in earlier years. Darryl Dawkins, who like Shaq was huge and freakishly strong, was never allowed to play that way, got called for fouls all the time. Not that I like that style of play, but if anyone says Shaq was an all-time great and Dawkins was comparatively second tier, I don't buy it.
