Shaquille O'Neal has never been known for being modest, but he appears to be content with a supporting role in Boston.
O'Neal signed a two-year, $2.8 million contract with the Celtics this month.
"I'm much older now," he said. "This team is good with or without me. Sometimes, in order to win, you have to sacrifice. I don't mind sacrificing. At the end of the day, it?s all about winning."
"I'm going to do what I'm told to do. Whatever they need me to do. I'm not in a position to cause trouble or cause a ruckus. The reason why younger in my career I acted a fool is because they made me the CEO. If I'm the CEO and I'm getting all the blame, we're going to start doing it my way."
