A GOOD FIT

Shaquille O’Neal thinks his frontline partnership with Kevin Garnett is doing wonders for the Boston Celtics. O’Neal and KG combined for 30 points and 22 rebounds in a 99-76 rout of the Atlanta Hawks. O’Neal says the thing that is working for both of them is their mutual respect which they have gained from their countless battles in the past, according to The Boston Globe.

“I think it’s a relationship of respect. We’ve both had many battles over the years. We both have seen what each other can do over the years. So we basically can say anything to each other. Being that they’ve got to respect him, it leaves a lot of room for me. And since they respect me, it’s a lot more room for him. So we’re going to use each other and I think it’s a good fit.”
