Shaq needs a nickname
Shaq’s coming to Boston and I couldn’t be happier! Since coming to the NBA Shaq has added “enormous” entertainment to the game of basketball. When at LSU he was talked about as a physical specimen like no other and unlike many amateurs, he has lived up to that billing. So much so that the Celtics took a chance on another LSU player because of his nickname “Baby Shaq”. Later changed to “Big Baby” , Glenn Davis was given the name because of his linebacker like size. Shaquille O’neal also has a personality to match his size. With his public fued with Laker star Kobe Bryant to his MTV Cribs episode where he promised to have the biggest bed in the world. Shaq will fit the bill in Boston, a city that appreciates Big personalities and has been in desperate need for a Big man after being outrebounded in the finals by the Lakers. ESPN had a nickname contest for Shaq in his new city, mine is Shaqopotamus. Let me know what you think it should be.

Something Good 
This I think is a low risk signing for the Celtics considering their window of opportunity right now is very small. This might be the last chance they have, although I guess we thought this last year. But the fact of the matter is that they need a big man now that Kendrick Perkins is going to be out for so long and there aren’t very many quality ones out there. Shaq can be good but at this point in his career he just can’t get too many touches. All in all I think it is a shrewd signing but I guess we’ll find out this season. In didn’t work in Cleveland but who knows.
