The 7-foot-1 Miami Heat center, who is in the process of becoming a Miami Beach reserve officer, was driving on South Beach around 3 a.m. Sunday. He saw a passenger in a car yell anti-gay slurs at the couple, who were walking, said Bobby Hernandez, a spokesman for the Miami Beach Police Department. The man then got out of the car and threw a bottle, hitting one of the pedestrians, who was not seriously hurt. The man got back in the car, which sped off. O'Neal followed, flagging down an officer who made an arrest, Hernandez said. Michael Gonzalez, 18, was arrested on charges of aggravated assault and assault with a deadly weapon. The driver of the car was not charged. O'Neal, who hopes to be a police chief or county sheriff one day, was already being fitted for his Miami Beach police uniform before he helped the police out. "For this incident I don't want to be credited as an individual who does police work," O'Neal said in a statement. "I want to be credited as a Miami Beach police officer."

Members palthegiraffe Posted September 16, 2005 Members Share Posted September 16, 2005 I can't say I'd put up much resistance to Shaq Daddy if he confronted me. I saw a life-sized cutout of him once at a bookstore; being 6'2" had never felt so small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hookstrapped Posted September 16, 2005 Members Share Posted September 16, 2005 It's a good thing that the only way to get the guy wasn't by hitting him with a basketball, shooting from a fixed position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite line is this:O'Neal, who hopes to be a police chief or county sheriff one day That sounds like how you would've described me at age five or something.

Members jove Posted September 16, 2005 Members Share Posted September 16, 2005 I put my foot in Shaq's sneaker one time in the Laker's locker room. I was wearing a pair of Nike's and my whole foot fit in there, no problem. I'm a size 11. His shoes were HUGE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he certainly couldn't be credited as a rapper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BillyGrahamCracker Posted September 16, 2005 Author Members Share Posted September 16, 2005 I just had a devilish idea. If and when Shaq becomes a real cop, it would be worth it to do something right in front of him that would get you a small and insignificant ticket, like jaywalking or littering or something. Because he'd have to sign the thing and I'm sure you could put it up on ebay and make enough money to cover the ticket and then some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
