Nate Robinson is a self-confessed big fan of his new Boston Celtics teammate Shaquille O’Neal. It goes way back to his childhood days. Now, he will share adjacent lockers with his longtime idol and he is having fun with O’Neal around, according to WEEI.com.

“I’ve been a Shaq fan since I was a little boy, so I’ve been teasing him about all the movies he’s been in. He’s awesome. His locker is right next to mine, so it’s kind of cool. Every day, he comes in with these Superman pajamas. I’m kinda getting tired of those already, but he’s a real fun guy. He’s one of those guys who I can always tell my kids, ‘I played with one of the all-time greats.”
