 Shaquille O’Neal signed with the Boston Celtics earlier this month. The 2010 NBA runners up look to strengthen their presence in the paint with the league’s oldest active player, who remains a modest threat down low. The Celts will need to shore up their veteran roster if they hope to compete with the Miami Heat since their Eastern Conference rivals acquired LeBron James and Chris Bosh.
The 38-year-old Shaq may be looking at his last season in the NBA. He will start the year as Boston’s back-up center, with Jermaine O’Neal taking the first string spot. But if Kendrick Perkins can return to full health, O’Neal’s playing time could be severely limited.

 Basketball fans may be looking at the next NBA dynasty, and it’s a team that hasn’t won a championship since 2006. By landing LeBron James last week, the Miami Heat immediately became serious contenders. James joins superstars Dwayne Wade and the recently acquired Chris Bosh to begin an era already nicknamed “Miami Thrice.”
However, the move is not without controversy. James, Bosh, and Wade, spoke about a plan to play together, possibly as early as 2006, when all three signed contracts of matching lengths, which allowed them to become free agents simultaneously.

 The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Boston Celtics 83-79 in Game 7 of the 2010 NBA finals this week to win the franchise’s 16th championship. Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, and company managed to keep Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen in check long enough to stake their claim as the best team in basketball.
The two biggest questions that arise from this year’s NBA season are these:
1. Are the Lakers the greatest franchise in NBA history?
2. Is Kobe Bryant the greatest Laker of all time?

 The NBA playoffs start this weekend, which is great news for hoops faithful around the country. The road out of the Western Conference is tough. With no clear favorite, the L.A. Lakers, Dallas Mavericks, and Phoenix Suns all have their work cut out for them.
It really is a dogfight in the West, with nearly every series up for grabs. Even the #1 vs. #8 game could come down to the wire. The Lakers are a relatively weak top seed, while the Oklahoma City Thunder have competed hard all season.
