Big Men of the NBA like Shaq, Andre Drummond, Jamaal McGloire and many more were said to be dominant on the inside but were the worst when it came to shooting free throws.

When teams realized this they would intentionally foul these big men, so that they could get ball possession without giving up a basket. This rule was well known as the "Hack A Shaq" rule.

This was boring for the fans and didn't fall under good-sportsmanship. So the NBA intervened and made a change in the Rule Books

Rule Change 7: When the team fouls intentionally in the closing two minutes of the quarter, the fouled team is awarded one free throw and possession of the ball.
