With Amare Stoudemire out with an eye injury, it’s not too surprising that Shaq is more involved in the offense. He no longer has to share touches with Stoudemire down low and will be more involved in the pick-and-roll attack.

That said, don’t expect this type of outburst too often from Shaq. He was going up against the dreadful Raptors defense and was just too big and too strong for the Raptors to handle. Against most teams, Shaq doesn’t have much of a chance to score 30 points – much less 45 points.

Overall, Shaq’s fantasy basketball value is on the rise. If you can live with his free throw percentage and his turnovers, he’s a good player to have on your fantasy team. Here’s the Shaq video of him scoring 45 points against the Raptors:

While Stuckey was able to continue to play, his season so far hasn’t been as great as expected. Many NBA experts expected him to make a big jump in his second season in the league. That simply hasn’t happened yet.

Compared to his rookie season, his stats are up just a little bit. Most fantasy owners are probably looking elsewhere for production, even if they invested a draft pick in Stuckey.

Is there hope for Stuckey’s stats to improve? What Stuckey needs more than anything is a boost in minutes played. One way for that to happen is if he takes over the starting point guard job for the Detroit Pistons. In that scenario, Allen Iverson would move to shooting guard and Richard Hamilton would come off the bench. That makes sense for the Pistons but it’s doubtful that Hamilton would like a move that would make him a reserve.

If Stuckey remains a bench player, he’s going to remain a borderline fantasy basketball option. He’d only really become valuable if an injury were to strike Iverson or Hamilton.

The result was a double thumbs up from Popovich and everyone on the floor and both benches laughing. You can see a video of the funny Hack-a-Shaq at the end of this entry.

While this funny business didn’t have much affect on the game, the Hack-a-Shaq strategy is not good for fantasy basketball owners. If you are in a league that counts free throw percentage, you certainly don’t want Shaq going to the line repeatedly. Any extra points would be negated by the mass amount of free throw misses.

In many fantasy basketball formats, Shaq can hurt more than he can help. If more NBA teams start employing Hack-a-Shaq, that will lower Shaq’s value even further. Keep an eye out to see if this is just a tactic the Spurs will use against the Suns or whether the rest of the NBA will copy it.

According to the description, this Shaq video was filmed at one of his rap music video shoots. I’m not sure if Wee-Man had a death wish but thankfully he came out seemingly unharmed.

Here is the Wee-Man video of him picking up Shaq:

Will Shaq be able to jump over the Escalade? Will Steve Nash help out his new Phoenix Suns teammate? Where does Kobe come into play?

You can only find those answers by watching this video:
