::Not ''that'' different, now that I think about it some more, though . . . Dunleavey's tactic did depart from the usual fouling strategy. It was kind of like an intermediate state on the way to what Nelson did. So it probably should be mentioned in some capacity. When I get a chance, I'll try to read that article again (did I mention my Spanish is bad?) and see if I can come up with something. [[User:Mwelch|Mwelch]] 18:47, 19 April 2006 (UTC) |

::OK, after further research into the matter, the idea defintiely is Nelson's and Dunleavy's wasn't even an intermediate step. Despite the conclusions drawn by the above-mentioned article, it would seem that Dunleavy's Blazers playing the Lakers and fouling O'Neal alot the day before Nelson's Mavericks played them and then Nelons using Hack-a-Shaq was just a conincidence. Why do I say that? Because it turns out that that game was ''not'' the first time Nelson used the tactic. He used it two years earlier against Dennis Rodman during a game between the Mavericks and Bulls. So he definitely didn't get the idea from what Dunleavy did in the 1999 game this article is talking about. [[User:Mwelch|Mwelch]] 01:46, 20 April 2006 (UTC) |

- No, I don't think so. My Spanish is very poor, I'll admit, but from what I can make out of that article, it's referring to Dunleavey using the tactic of intentionally fouling Shaq when Shaq had the ball. That is different from what is usually referred to as the Hack-a-Shaq: fouling him when he does not have the ball. Even in this article, in the fourth paragraph, notes that it was Nelson who first used the strategy in this way. Mwelch 00:00, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
