Shaquille O'Neal Names Key To Celtics Winning A Championship

On Tuesday night, the Boston Celtics, once again, blew out their competition in the NBA Playoffs, beating the Cleveland Cavaliers by 25 points in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Despite the win, Celtics star Jayson Tatum did not have his best game, scoring 18 points on 7 of 19 shooting to go along with 11 rebounds and five assists. Jaylen Brown and Derrick White paced the Celtics to the comfortable win, combing for 57 points on 21 of 34 shooting.

After the game, the NBA on TNT crew discussed the win for Boston, and Shaquille O'Neal named the biggest key for the Celtics to win a championship.

"You talk about who's going to win a championship. If (Derrick White) can play like this with or without Porzingis, Boston will win a championship," Shaq said, "In order for Boston to win, White is going to have to play well."

White has been arguably the best Celtic so far in the playoffs, averaging 22.8 points on 57% shooting.
