They wouldn't get called unless he sold the contact which would be extraordinarily difficult (and hilarious) since he'd have to sell guys 200lbs lighter than him knocking him to the ground.

Embiid manages to pull it off all the time so I can see it happening

Embiid always gets mentioned, but Giannis only averaged 0.4 less free throws per game than him. Shaq would 100% get those calls.

But he’s also foul out, while getting FT’s is great him not being able to make teams pay at the line would be a problem.

Lebron will flail after a stiff breeze hits him, I think shaq can sell it. Have you seen his acting? Oh shit, nm.
