There was a lot of body contact for the refs to choke on their whistles.  It is easier to block a shot if your not going to be called for the body foul.  Announcer Jeff Van Gundy commented that this would have been called a foul if it had occurred in the first 45 minutes of the game.  However, this took place in the last second of overtime of Game 6 of the NBA Finals.  I suppose we will never know whether Danny Green would have made the 3 foul shots to tie the game and send it into a second overtime.

This is an all-Orlando Magic cast with Ernie Johnson.

Shaq tells the story about how he requested the Magic GM to arrange to get Penny instead of Chris Weber. This is the first time I heard of this. I always wondered why the Magic picked Chris Weber 1st in the draft and traded him to Golden State for Penny who was the third pick.
