You won't believe what Shaquille O'Neal had to do to graduate

Being a basketball player and a huge guy could have a somewhat negative side for the Los Angeles Lakers icon Shaquille O'Neal, who has even been one of the greatest NBA players.

Shaq has said that because of his image as a basketball player, some people won't take him seriously and think that he isn't smart enough, even when he is indeed intelligent and has even a Master's degree.

The funny story is that to get his Master's. He had to make a big investment because he didn't want to do it online, and to have a teacher needed a class of at least fifteen students.

So for Shaq, the solution was simple, he paid for fifteen of his friends to get their Master's degrees. Big man, significant actions. Shaq has always been known to be splendid with friends and family and to be able to get what he wants. 

The time that Shaquille challenged Kobe Bryant

For his last game, Kobe Bryant was playing with the Los Angeles Lakers in their "home," and an already retired Shaq, and then already tv commentator, O'Neal, challenged Kobe to score 50 points. Kobe scored 60.
