For Pop, Hack-a-Shaq is a way of life

[cordobes]

You surely remember when Shaq,
a few weeks ago , classified the use of the Hack-a-Shaq by Coach Popovich and the Spurs in last season play-offs as cowardice.

It didn't take long for Pop to respond. In a funny and witty way:

Kudos to Pop and the Spurs. Absolutely hilarious.

The fact that Popovich did that in live competition made it beautiful.

Yeah credit to him, that was funny. Always nice to see some humour, come playoff time I don't think we'll be seeing that from Pop.

If you are a total nutcase hardcore competitive sort you could argue that he put his team at a disadvantage by using a "real" foul, but that's what made the joke.

It was up there with Randy Johnson throwing over John Kruk's head in the All Star Game.

I thought this was hilarious, surprised he wasted a foul so early on, but in the grand scheme of things it really doesn't matter.
