Exactly - just hit the prohop button when you are spinning off and the power dribble takes you right to the hoop. Also, if you have a stronger post player and can get position, when he receieves a pass you can back down the defender for 1 'push' and just hit dunk. If you have him deep enough under the hoop yo will either dunk on him or get the foul and go to the line. Careful not to do it if the defender is outside the nocharge zone though, or you will get called for an offensive 99% of the time.
As for the cpu lakers, the went to Shaq on well over half of their possessions, but I double down on him as soon as he caught the ball every time so he generally kicked it back out. I also run a 1-3-1 trapping zone against strong post threats and manage to pick off a fair number of post entry passes that way, since I can patrol the paint myself. At the end of the game (which I lost to a replay) the score was 82-80 Lakers and Shaq had 15pts,12 boards,4 blocks (1-4 FT's haha). I would like to see him 'force' it a bit more and use his size better, but for the most part it seemed like Laker basketball. I don't know how many games I've watched where I end up screaming at the TV for them to give it to Shaq, and they go through stretches where he never gets a touch. Kills me.
