Comments on: Shaquille O’Neal to get doctorate in education this weekend http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/05/02/shaquille-oneal-to-get-doctorate-in-education-this-weekend/ Basketball - NBC Sports Tue, 21 May 2013 13:28:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: 700levelvet http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/05/02/shaquille-oneal-to-get-doctorate-in-education-this-weekend/comment-page-1/#comment-89651 Thu, 03 May 2012 13:21:54 +0000 http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=73591#comment-89651 I don’t understand how anyone would bash Shaq…..Although i was never a fan of any team he played on, he’s a good guy…The kind of guy you would sit at the bar with and have a beer, kind of like the uncle everyone has, who just enjoys himself… he never embarrassed himself, or the league, yeah he’s a class clown, but that’s just his personality, i really could care less if he gets a degree or not. But to act as if he actually needed to do this, online school etc… to pay the mortgage or eat is laughable..Does it really matter?…He made more in one year then if the total combo of commentators here reached 500 would make……I doubt he has any student loans, and their isn’t a MAN alive, who doesn’t wish he had his life……….

What’s next, after her next movie Lindsay Lohan gets a Doctorate in Theater Arts?

I’m sorry but do YOU have a doctorate from anywhere? especially if you’re going to bash the university basically saying its a joke. if its so easy why don’t you go there and pull a 3.81 for your doctorate. anyway congratulations to Shaq education has always been important to him which is nice to see among pro-athletes

Work and personal development that he frankly didn’t have to do. Good for him continuing to expand his mind and skills outside of basketball.

Anyway, great job Shaq! In his book he talks about how seriously he takes his education. He got his MBA years ago so he could better understand all his business ventures and not let other prejudiced clowns take his money and run. He probably sees a value to this PhD to something he’s got cookin, he just doesn’t see a need to inform the blogging public about what it’s for just yet.

Really basic link clicking and google searching reveals Barry University as an 80-year-old institution producing people earning very high salaries. This isn’t some online paper mill school that came out of nowhere
