Shaq is latest Celtic to speak about Miami Heat
Shaq spoke with the Orlando Sentinel about the Miami Heat, Dwight Howard, and NBA lockout and the reason he talks so much crap. (“Marketing,” he explained. “”I know what I’m doing when it comes to selling out games.”)
Here’s what Shaq said about the Heat:
Do you feel like Miami is going to run the Eastern Conference or is all the talk hype?
“Everybody is always excited about youth, but in the last 11 years I don’t see a youthful team winning the championship. But they got a great backcourt in LeBron and D-Wade, probably one of the most talented, historical backcourts ever.”
Shaq’s right about experience winning championships. But let’s not talk about the Heat like they’re all rookies. Lebron James is a two-time defending MVP, Dwyane Wade has a Finals MVP trophy, and Chris Bosh, well, he works hard. Udonis Haslem, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Juwan Howard, Mike Miller and Eddie House are all OG’s. I mean, it’s not like these guys are still walking around with pacifiers in their mouths, wearing diapers.
I’m afraid of the Heat, I’m willing to admit it. But I’ve got faith in my Celtics.

We just have to remember, team work, character, and the practice of Ubuntu are all important components to a winning team. They are also generally acquired through experience and age, yet not all OG’s learn these finer principles. The Heat as a new and unproven team can only be classed as underdogs to the Celtics. Catch us if you can.
