Shaq Could Be Ohio’s Next Deputy Sheriff
I know what you’re thinking. Just another nickname after the Big Shaquistion arrived in Cleveland? Wrong. In addition to being LeBron’s muscle on the court, Shaq is trying to be a good, concerned citizen off of it. According to The Plain Dealer, the 7-1 center has applied to become a special deputy with the right to carry a gun and make arrests.
If approved, he would need to complete 36 hours of police training within six months and take the Ohio police examination to maintain the appointment. He would also have to pass a test on a shooting range.
Having previously served roles with law enforcement agencies in Arizona, Virginia and Florida, this shouldn’t come as too much a surprise. But at the same time, the streets of Ohio should be very scared.
What would you do if you saw Shaq about to arrest you?

Seriously, after watching him ‘run’ up and down the court last night, maybe he should apply for a desk job.
But if I was arrested by him, I’d try to use his own ‘psychology’ against him. For example, I might try to distract him by making some outrageous claim along the lines of: “I’m going to make Amare Stoudemire the best power forward in the game” to try to divert his attention from the fact that I was a fraud…

Ain’t no doubt that Shaq ain’t worth shit yo. Cat used to be baller and a glass eatin monsta, but he ain’t worth for shit. Cat just be runnin his mouth and ain’t be doin nothin more. Cat shd be concentratin on helpin Lebron and be doin what he be paid cheddar for doin isntead of be doin shit like dis.
True thugs NEVER lie.

When The Monkey was in Miami, The Monkey conducted a police raid with the local law enforcement agency. Unfortunately, it was the wrong house!
Stupid is as stupid does!

If I was pulled over by this Monkey, he would probably pummel me because of my Kobe Jersey!

“he ain’t worth for shit”. I don’t know why, but that line by the fake The Real Tyrone made me laugh.

He was stripped of his position in one state over the “Kobe how my ass taste” performance. He’s a joke, the only reason anyone would deputize him is for publicity.

lmfao! testing his shooting range… dude can’t even hit a free throw.

he’d be perfect for the job. Judging by his weight he knows where all the donut shops are.
I think Shaq should go undercover as no one would be able to figure out who he was.

*bows head in prayer*
Please lord could you just make this overrated, overstuffed, overyhyped, overpaid, played out pile of garbage go away forever! Also if you could make the entire mass media stop reporting on this loser every five seconds because they think he is witty and charming, even though he is cross eyed, fat, and has the IQ to match his jersey number (any one of them), it would be much appreciated. Amen.

Who gives a sh!t? Did you know that the Blazers and their NW division co-champs face off for the first time tonight?? But, I guess this over rated f@t @$$ needs more love from NBA/david stern homers. You guys need to quit suckling all of Sterns boys.

Shaq is a legend.. Where the fuck is your respect?
Becoming a 5-0 after making tracks with wu-tang is pretty soft tho.

Oh gosh, please Shaq ain’t arresting nobody except owner of Krispy Kreme for closing too early.

#14 when did Shaq make songs with Wu-tang? His pudgy behind was making songs with the Fu-schinkens

I wonder if Shaq’s aim with a gun is as good as his aim at the free throw line. Oh boy!!!

Why does this picture look like he is posing for some sort of Porno shoot?

Dime, please stop sucking(the fatman) his ass! This is a joke. There is a reason he has played on five teams.
Clev will finally realize (it will be too late) this dude is a cancer, and is not focused on winning. Guarantee he buries Coach Brown is the near future.
Out like Dime on Shaq’s sack.

I find these comments incredibly funny, I wonder how many of you were Shaq fans before he got old! A few of you probably got his payless sneakers on even though you wont admit it.

Hopefully, his shooting range test will go better than his foul shots
