NBA When Should You Hack-a-Shaq?
In this video my brother Mark aka MFA goes over another NBA basketball video and this time explores the infamous Hack-a-Shaq strategy. This strategy involves intentionally fouling a poor free throw shooter and is named after historically bad free throw shooter Shaquille O'Neal. To analyze if this is a good strategy or not, MFA calculates the league average for points per possession in the 2021-2022 NBA season and found it to be 1.146 points / possession. This translates to a free throw percentage of 57.3%. This means that intentionally fouling a player that shoots below 57.3% benefits your team but above this % it hurts your team. For example, Stephen Curry shoots 92.3% from the free throw line, so you should definitely avoid fouling Steph!
Note that additional factors need to be considered when employing the Hack-a-Shaq strategy, such as getting into the Bonus too early or new NBA rules that penalize intentionally fouling opponents at the final 2 minutes of each quarter. Also note that the "Bonus" is when a team goes above 4 fouls in a quarter, thus resulting in 2 free throws even in non-shooting motions.
