Bigs are generally expected to take a lot more contact than the Morant's of the world. Shaq would have fouled out entire teams if every time he got hit it was called a foul.
The physical abuse Shaq took should raise his stature in peoples eyes. Like yeah he got fat, but if you were taking the kind of beating he was, you'd want some extra cushion on you too. If he was white and the bruises/cuts showed more clearly, he'd have made Jokic's arms look like a stubbed toe.
