Shaquille O’Neal told WEEI that he would have played for the Celtics for free this season.
We know he is sincere because we know for a fact that Shaq had better offers on the table and turned them down to play here in Boston.
He turned down $8 million from the Atlanta Hawks and Detroit Pistons.So the dude isn’t just blowing smoke.
I must admit, it is refreshing to see a professional athlete who isn’t driven by money. Shaq is motivated by another NBA Championship, plain and simple.
He has the Tom Brady gene. The Kevin Garnett gene. The gene that Manny Ramirez never had.
Savor it Celtics fans. A player like Shaquille O’Neal only comes along once a generation. And you are lucky enough to see him play for your team.
