Shaquille O’Neal is one of the greatest players to ever play the sport. He has achieved quite literally everything a player can wish for. He dominated the game for almost 20 years, and then had a heartfelt retirement.

Shaq is now an NBA analyst and broadcaster for NBA on TNT. He is known for his funny antics and taking part in various things.

However, little do NBA fans know that Shaq has always had a great interest in working in the police departments. Hence, Shaq was given the status of an Honorary US Deputy Marshall back in 2005.

Shaq was recently engaged in a conversation with the famous American rapper, ‘Fat Joe’. During their conversation, Fat Joe mentioned “I know they made you an honorary police officer”. To this, the Big Diesel replied, “I’m not honorary brother. I went to the academy.” The two have a hilarious conversation about it, as Shaq explains that he has completed courses in 3 police academies.

Shaq hilariously says ?I was undercover until you blew my cover? at the end. “I’m the real deal,” Shaq added.
