Ex-Boston Celtics forward Antoine Walker on how Shaq dodged weigh-ins on the Miami Heat
Hall of Fame Boston Celtics big man alum Shaquille O'Neal has never been known to be a player who took the best care of his body, and by the time he landed in Boston, that tendency took its toll on his brief tenure with the Celtics.
But he still managed to have one of the best careers in the history of the league nonetheless, and another Boston alum, former Celtics forward Antoine Walker, recently recalled how Shaq avoided weigh-ins while they both played for the Miami Heat in an interview on the "Club 520" podcast, incidentally hosted by another Boston alum, Celtics floor general Jeff Teague.
Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say about how the Big Aristotle dodged the scale back in the day -- perhaps to his detriment later on.
