The headline that made you click into this post is true even though it’s hard to believe.

When the clock strikes midnight on Friday night, you will have to address Shaquille O’Neal as Dr. Shaquille O’Neal. Apparently, in the midst of being a commentator on TNT, flaunting his relationship with Hoopz, and being on the scene, he earned his doctorate. Quietly, Shaq enrolled into Barry University in Miami. He recently submitted his thesis which was titled The Effects of Humor and Seriousness in Leadership Styles.

Barry University’s chair of Organizational Learning and Leadership and Human Resource Development Program commented by saying, “[Shaq] is a very impressive guy, very inquisitive, and it’s a pleasure to have him as a student. I think the degree will serve as an example for others, and he should be very proud of himself.”

Well, he might not be able to shoot a free throw to save his life, but he got his education. Good for him!

Dwight Howard Says Shaq Should “Get On With His Life”

indyhiphop Staff — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 19:28:12 +0000

It’s always interesting when recently retired players become sports commentators. With memories of the court or field still fresh in their heads, they haven’t quite developed the level of objectivity of some of their peers.

Since retiring from the NBA Shaquille O’Neal has become an analyst for TNT. When recently asked to name the best Center in the NBA “The Diesel” bestowed that honor on Lakers big man Andrew Bynum. However, in a head-to-head match up with Orlando Magic Center Dwight Howard (the man many would consider the best center) Bynum came up short.

Howard got the best of Bynum, finishing with 21 points, 23 rebounds and one blocked shot to Bynum’s 10 points, 12 rebounds and two blocks in the win. For the season Howard is averaging 20 pts, 16 rebounds ad 2.3 blocks to Bynum’s 15 pts, 13 rebounds and 1.9 blocks.

So what did Dwight have to say in response to Shaq?

“He’s mad about ‘Superman,’” Howard said referring to his Slam Dunk contest routine from 2008. “I didn’t know he made it up. I didn’t know Superman came from Shaquille O’Neal.”

Superman was one of several nicknames Shaquille O’Neal used during his career, flaunting a Kryptonian “S” tattoo on his bicep. But Howard doesn’t care.

“I would suggest he’d just sit down and get on with his life,” Dwight added. “He don’t play no more, so what’s the point of talking trash? It’s not like we’re wrestlers and we get to battle it out. Who cares?”

Just when you thought the war between Kobe and Shaq died down, The Diesel went and threw The Black Mamba under the proverbial bus in his new book, Shaq Uncut: My Story.

72 Hours in Los Angeles

While nothing can be as funny as Shaq rapping, “Kobe, tell me how my ass tastes,” Shaq has thrown many shots Kobe’s way over the years. Vibe.com compiled 10 of the most offensive for your weekend barbershop debates.

Shaq vs. Kobe 4

The Year: 2000

The Jab: During a private team meeting, Shaq reportedly got up and said, “I have something to say. I think Kobe is playing too selfishly for us to win.” He also talked to management frequently during the 1999-2000 season, telling them that he didn’t think the Lakers could win an NBA title with Kobe on the team.

Our Reaction: At this point, it’s amazing that Lakers management didn’t trade either Shaq or Kobe. If all of the media reports about their hatred of one another is true, how did these guys manage to win their first title together in 2000?

Shaq and Hoopz was spotted in Calabassas over the weekend. The two spent their afternoon seeing planet of the apes and kissing for the paparazzi. I think everyone who saw them kissing wanted to throw up.

Shaq retired from the NBA and Hoopz has no career so the two have lots of time to spend with one another. According to Shaunie O’neal, Shaq needs to find time to kick it with his children instead of Hoopz who looks like she could be his child as well.

Shaq Plants Tracker on Shaunie’s Car?

rioontheradio — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 20:40:53 +0000

According to RadarOnline and the Star Magazine, allegations of retired NBA baller Shaquille O’Neal planted a tracking device and spying on the star of Basketball Wives and ex-wifey Shaunie O’Neil.

A former friend to the NBA All-Star, Shawn Darling filed the suit. He states that the ball player was worried that his then-wife knew about his adulterous affairs with Vanessa Lopez and other women.

This is an excerpt from the 85-page document which accuses Shaq of much more:

“On September 25, 2009 O’Neal purchased an Ultimate Bluetooth Mobile Phone Spy, and an Ultimate People Finder Software system. At some point O’Neal had his wife’s car wired and hired ‘Guidepoint,’ a company to place a GPS tracking system on her car to track her movements and her whereabouts.”

“On September 29, 2009 nervous that Vanessa Lopez had made good on her threat to meet with his wife, O’Neal had his henchmen, Derrick Mallet, check with ‘Guidepoint,’ to find out where his wife had been.”

More updates to come as this story develops.

Would someone really go that far to keep their infidelity a secret?
