The Celtics pieced together one of the most dominant playoff runs in NBA history, posting a 16-3 record en route to their first title since 2008.
Former Celtic and NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal – who picked the Dallas Mavericks to beat the Celtics in five games in the Finals – argued that Boston’s competition wasn’t too stiff.
“We all know Boston had the easiest run ever to that championship,” said O’Neal, speaking on “The OGs Show” with Udonis Haslem and Mike Miller.
Haslem agreed, and O’Neal said it’s up to the Celtics to prove themselves this season.
