That's the
current rumour that's picking up steam, at least. Bill Simmons tweeted a couple of thoughts on the matter.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No! Noooooooo!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i thought that was rumored before we got O'Neal (get it?)
Wed Aug 04, 2010 9:29 am
What better way to celebrate the Irish connection than to stock up on O'Neals?

Fuck Shaq, what a douche.
How the fuck do you decide to go to the Celtics. Seriously.
Wed Aug 04, 2010 11:39 am
Close to becoming official. It also mentions that Kendrick Perkins could be out until January following his knee surgery, so it makes sense that the Celtics are stocking up on big men.
This blog has thrown the moniker "The Big Shamrock" out there, probably only a matter of time before that catches on.

They do need a big lumbering old bloke since Sheed retired.
A good signing I reckon.
Wed Aug 04, 2010 12:41 pm
They get a lumbering old bloke with zero mid-range game.
Wed Aug 04, 2010 12:46 pm
Since when did Shaq have a mid-range game?
Wed Aug 04, 2010 12:52 pm
Never.
Wed Aug 04, 2010 12:53 pm
So what's the point of this one...

Since it's pretty much obvious they didn't get Shaq for his midrange game.
Wed Aug 04, 2010 12:56 pm
Because Laxation said something about Sheed that I guess was comparing him to Shaq (lumbering old bloke), so I just added in "lumbering old bloke, with 0 mid-range game."
Wed Aug 04, 2010 2:28 pm
Id swap a big man with no mid-range or inside game for a big man with an inside game.
Sheed stank.

Brilliant. Pick something iconic related to the team or area in which the team plays, preface it with "The Big", and possibly change any syllables ending in 'ack' to 'shaq'. Instant Shaq-nickname, no creativity.

Damn! Celtics bigs just got scarier. The original big 3 and now 2 big O'neals. This is going to be one sick team considering their dirtiness under the paint. And our season opener is against these nasty Celtics.
Seems like Boston is a place that attracts only old people though. No wonder Sauru is a happy man there. I bet their stadium is most wheelchair friendly.

You keep referring to both the Celtics and the Lakers as "dirty" teams, no wonder everyone agrees Wade flopped his way to a ring.
Play like a man, faggot. It's what seperates champions from chumps.
Wed Aug 04, 2010 9:49 pm
Not sure if he's comfortable coming off the bench, cause once Perkins back he's sitting his ass down. They have a deep frontcourt with KG, Perk, O'Neals and Big Baby, so looking forward to their season-opener against Miami.
Wed Aug 04, 2010 10:29 pm
ahh the celtics the retirement home of the nba
Wed Aug 04, 2010 11:22 pm
The season hasn't even started yet and ZanShadow is already preparing an excuse when his team loses.
"Oh no! The [insert team name that will eliminate Heat in the postseason here] played dirty that's why they won and the Heat lost!"
Pathetic.

Does the Heat stadium have mattresses near the baseline to protect Wade when he flops after every shot/dunk/layup?
Wed Aug 04, 2010 11:28 pm
http://sports.espn.go.com/boston/nba/ne ... id=5436289its official, and they just said the Big Shamrock on ESPN too
Shadow....stop making me change my sig
Wed Aug 04, 2010 11:32 pm
I preferred the Badger joke.
Thu Aug 05, 2010 12:40 am
Hahahahaha. Good ones, shadowgrin and sauru. Loving it...
Thu Aug 05, 2010 12:50 am
celtics may be dirty but they earned the championship, they didnt flop their way to it screwing dirk in the process (btw alot more dirty teams than celtics and lakers)
Thu Aug 05, 2010 12:59 am
Malone and Stockton are more dirty than KG or Fisher.
Thu Aug 05, 2010 1:42 am
Haha BigBaby 2 in Boston
Thu Aug 05, 2010 1:52 am
What is this i dont even
Whatever happened to Sheed anyway? I thought he "took back" his retirement schtick?
Also, this is the only O'Neal left for the Celtics to sign:
