You gotta feel bad for this guy. First, it’s gotta suck to be falsely accused of having kiddie porn. I would argue that this crime is the most frowned upon in this society. And I ain’t mad at that.
Plus, they must have pulled out the big guns on him.
I say that because the only way I don’t notice that Shaq is in the room is if I’m preoccupied by the barrel of a gun. Even if I’m handcuffed with a foot in my back, I’m gonna wonder, “man, who’s that Shaq lookin nigga in the corner?”
You can’t put a 7-footer in a room and think it won’t get noticed. The reason is that it’s more than likely that any 7-footer you see on the street is one you’ve seen on TV. I’ve never been around or heard of anyone that tall that didn’t play ball. Save for that big boxer that’s out right now, that is.
But if you’re that tall, you can get a tryout on just about any level. I don’t there’s a D-1 school that wouldn’t let you hang out on the bench for four seasons.
So if there’s a flash of a 7-footer out the corner of my eye, I don’t think I’ll be able to withhold the urge to think, “who did he play for?”
Plus, it’s Shaq. Shaq’s pretty famous. High Q rating and all that.

Dude, I’ve played league basketball here for years. We have a reeeeeal tall guy, probably near 7 foot, on our team. Boy, was he bad. You should see the look on the other teams’ faces when they realize he’s on our team–if they only knew. Anyway, he basically jumps for the ball at tip off, then sits down. He’ll come in after a big lead.

That’s the funniest thing I’ve read all week. I can actually see the perplexed look on some dude’s face, thinkin’ that.

I am still struck at how this is news.
Did Shaq get the house wrong?
or is it just cause its Shaq.
Yeah..dumb question.
Cant believe dude didnt know that was shaq. I saw him in person once…he is IMPOSSIBLE to mistake for someone else.

Yeah DP, I think it’s kind of silly for the media to pin it on Shaq, like Jim Rome did yesterday. I mean, he was just along for the ride, certainly not involved in the planning of it all since he’s a prt-timer. Kind of bogus, but you know the media, well most, not Bo :-), anything that can sell an ad in a paper, web article or TV news spot. Gotta hook the masses with falsification to get ’em to tune in.
I admire Shaq for wanting to do something positive…

Most folks in my family are short-moderate height. One of my uncles got the tall gene, or maybe his wife did. All their kids (10, I think) are over six feet. The shortest being 6’2″ and she’s the baby girl. None of them played ball and we all wondered why.

I’m sorry. Why is Shaq working as a reserve-cop? And why does he want to be Sherriff?

He’s just slumming.
