Shaquille O'Neal played against the Celtics in last season's play-offs.

NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal has signed for the Boston Celtics.

The 38-year-old, 7'1" centre joins as a free agent after playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers last season.

O'Neal, who was the first overall pick in the 1992 NBA draft by the Orlando Magic, is a three-time NBA Finals most valuable player (in 2000, 2001 and 2002) and was NBA MVP in 2000.

He has won four NBA Championship titles - in 2000, 2001 and 2002 with the Los Angeles Lakers and 2006 with the Miami Heat - and was named as one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history in 1996, when aged just 24.

"I am honoured to be joining the Celtics," O'Neal said on the team's official website, www.celtics.com.

"I cannot wait to get to Boston to get started in pursuit of another championship."

The Boston Celtics are currently 2001.00 to win the 2010/11 NBA Championship, with LeBron James' new side, the Miami Heat, fancied at 1.55.

You can back O'Neal and James' former team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, to win the title at odds of 7501.00.
