Shaquille O’Neal isn’t willing to join Ime Udoka’s critics after the former Celtics coach was implicated in a scandal that cost him his position. The retired legend explained why.
“I did it. I was the best at it. I’m not proud of it.” 😬

More on this storyline

 

At a news conference last week, Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck said the suspension — which extends through June 30, 2023 — was a product of multiple violations of team policies, and sources told ESPN the Celtics won’t stand in Udoka’s way should he have the chance to become a coaching candidate elsewhere. There are teams that have tried to gather a preliminary understanding of the full explanation for Udoka’s suspension in preparation for possibly evaluating him for future coaching employment, sources told ESPN. -via ESPN / September 30, 2022
