WALTHAM, Mass. (AP) -Shaquille O’Neal was sold on Boston by all the championships the Celtics have won – and the chance to win another.
The 38-year-old big man was introduced at a news conference on Tuesday to an audience of about 50 reporters and a couple hundred kids participating in a basketball camp at the Celtics’ practice facility.
The future Hall of Famer signed a two-year deal for the veterans’ minimum salary to have a chance to play with the defending Eastern Conference champions. O’Neal joins his sixth team and says he’s searching for a fifth and sixth NBA championship before he retires.
O’Neal wore a gray suit with a black bow tie because he said he felt like he was joining an exclusive group and wanted to look sharp.
