When did the NBA move to shooting three free-throws for a foul occurring on a three-point field goal attempt?

I don't know if this has been asked yet but, when did Glen Davis slam Shaquille oneal? I heard something about this, what's this all about?

When he was 15, at a summer camp. (It's number six).

BOSTON -- Ever hear about the 15-year-old who body-slammed Shaquille O'Neal?

The guy who did it was a Big Baby then, too.

Glen Davis had another memorable moment against O'Neal when he ripped a rebound out of his elder's hands Wednesday night in Boston's 20-point victory over Phoenix, some seven years after the body-slam moment the two big men still remember today.

That day in the summer of 2001, in a backyard of an academic elder's house on the campus of LSU, Davis found himself staring at the player he idolized. On a mutual whim, the two began wrestling.

And the winner was clear when Davis, completely unintimidated, shocked the Diesel by lifting and slamming the 7-foot-1, 350-pounder to the ground.

O'Neal had a laugh while recalling the moment, but it clearly left an impression -- and it helped Davis get introduced to Dale Brown, then LSU's coach. Davis, still small in comparison with O'Neal's girth, matched up numerous times with Shaq on Wednesday and -- with a little help from the rest of the Celtics -- had the upper hand again.

"I just threw him down. It was two friends wrestling in the backyard and I won," said Davis, who made it clear that he wasn't nearly the size he is today when that match happened.

Still, he has a story from his teenage years that no other former 15-year-old can top.

Once the trade deadline has passed, at what point are teams allowed to resume trading players? The Noc/Dalembert deal happened before the Finals were over, so I wasn't sure.

So when the playoffs starts, teams eliminated can now do a trade or something?

Re: The "Have You Random NBA Question Answered" Thread

Thu Jun 24, 2010 4:50 pm

Yes.

Re: The "Have You Random NBA Question Answered" Thread

only if they're not trading expirings

Re: The "Have You Random NBA Question Answered" Thread

Thu Jun 24, 2010 7:14 pm

Well yes, technically their contract ended when the team stopped playing, so they couldn't trade the player anyway as all they have are the rights.

Has there been a team that played back-to-back games with another one in a regular season? Or did the NBA ever schedule such an arrangement before?

Re: The "Have You Random NBA Question Answered" Thread

Sun Jun 27, 2010 9:30 pm

Yes, indeed it actually happens fairly often.
