Celtics Shaq Wasn’t THAT Bad 🤣
Shaq’s time with the Celtics may be just remembered as a Twitter meme, but his stint there actually wasn’t that bad. I love that you can just say Celtic Shack and if someone doesn’t even watch the NBA, but at least watches sports, they know what you’re talking about. This obviously gets a meme for calling something Wash, but the Celtics actually were so dominant with Shaq as their starting center alongside their four other all-stars in 2010 of Pierce, KG, Ray Allen, and Rondo. Yeah, literally all four that made the All-Star team. They went 28-9 in the 37 games Shaq played. That’s a 62 in piece as they won 56 overall for the season. So, impact was there. And yes, Shaq’s stats certainly don’t say much, only scoring over 20 points in two of these 37 games and averaging just 4.8 rebounds. But he can say though that he beat Kobe in their one single Celtics Lakers meeting. And just seeing this photo is so damn strange. Kobe went for 41 in this one in late January of 2011 in LA. But it was Boston pick up the 13-point win as Shaq put up a classic Celtic Shack statline of zero points.

Shaq said himself he retired after Boston not because his injury but because he was "robbing the people"
I mean he did try, besides it's not like it was a total failure since they were pretty successful that year
So Shaq still was washed, but the Celtics as a team were solid. Haha
That team won like 15 games in a row. Was always strange they shipped Nate and Perk. Team went downhill after that trade
It’s not him being bad generally it’s about him compared to his peak which is arguably the best in nba history
Per 36mpg, he was a respectful 16ppg, 8.5rpg, 2 bpg, 66 FG%.
If anything, it was cool seeing him team up with vets and former all-stars Pierce, Garnett, Allen, and Jermaine O'Neal. Like The Expendables. 😄
Why do you have baby hands?
No hate, but you look exactly like Bernard from mega mind.
No, ppl who don’t watch nba, don’t care
5 fouls in 13 minutes is crazy
