WALTHAM, Mass. -- Boston Celtics second-year big man Jordan Mickey made a promise, and that's what brought him to a suburban Party City where he towered above most of the pint-sized customers hunting for Halloween costumes. Mickey's shopping list: an Aladdin costume that might fit his 6-foot-8 frame.
A couple weeks earlier, Mickey had promised the daughter of teammate Jae Crowder that he would dress up as the Disney character of her choosing for a princess-themed 3rd birthday party. After some discussion, Mickey and young Jada settled on Agrabah's beloved thief.
"[Mickey] probably thought she was going to forget.
