Does anyone happen to have a clip of the Big 3 bringing out a cake for Bill Russell during the all star game?  I missed it during the game, but would love to be able to see it.  It seems like such a great gesture on everyone's part.

I don't have the clip for you but that was a nice moment.  You can tell that all 3 of these guys really appreciate and respect Russell.  The best part of having the best dynasty in the league is that the old guys stick around the team.  Pair that with a team of veterans who are scholars of the game and you have a special fraternity.
"Take this down," said O'Neal. "My name is Shaquille O'Neal and Paul Pierce is the (expletive) truth. Quote me on that and don't take nothing out. I knew he could play, but I didn't know he could play like this. Paul Pierce is the truth."
