Who's Your Shaq Daddy Now?

Can aging behemoth bring the bling?

Throughout their 40 years of balling, the Phoenix Suns have consistently made the playoffs. But once the team lost that star-crossed coin flip for the right to draft Lew Alcindor, one thing has plagued the squad in its NBA Championship quest: the inability to find a true center to enforce the paint. Hopefully, that’ll no longer be a problem with Shaquille O’Neal banging his beefy elbows at the 5. However, the multi-million-dollar question is whether the Suns’ chemistry can survive the addition of Shaq and subtraction of Shawn Marion. We’ll have a pretty good idea after the game against the rejuvenated Boston Celtics, the team with the best record in the NBA and a future Hall of Famer in Kevin Garnett.
