He’s the second biggest O’Neal the Boston Celtics signed this offseason both in stature and legacy, but does anyone have more incentive to help the Cs get back to the Finals and beat the Lakers than Jermaine O’Neal?  The best year of his career was wasted in large part due to Ron Artest’s season-long suspension, a twist of fate (or splash of beer, as it were) that resulted in the East-favorite Pacers not meeting expectations in ’04-05 and Jermaine hasn’t been quite the same since.  He’s averaging about five points in fifteen minutes a night for Boston, and when the Celtics are out on the road battling for playoff position, the six-time All Star rocks these Nike Air Max Closer IV Away PEs.  The Nike Elite tongue tag is slightly ironic at this point in his career, but no question the AM Closer 4 provides a solid base for what could be key minutes for a new-old champion.  Click through to get a better look at the latest Nike Basketball player exclusive and stick with Sneaker News for the latest NBA Feet.
