This NBA Season Needs To Start Now

Celtics center Shaquille O'Neal decided today is the day he'll spend an hour in Harvard Square as a "statue." Shaq sent a message to his followers on Twitter that he would be at Harvard Square this afternoon. He had previously announced that he planned to pose as a statue and allow fans to photograph him and pose with him, but he wouldn't speak.

Pretty awesome. I never thought I'd say this but I'm starting to love Shaq and I think he's gonna play a key role in this year's title run. Maybe his personality didn't mesh with Lebron because he's an asshole and Kobe raped a girl but he fits in perfect with this Boston squad. Just a bunch of bat shit crazy black dudes who love basketball, winning rings and hanging with the public.
