MIAMI >> Former NBA star Shaquille O'Neal is a doctor now.
O'Neal received his doctoral
degree in education from Barry University alongside 1,100 other
students during commencement ceremonies Saturday.
The Miami Herald reports
that O'Neal got on one knee so the chair of Barry's organizational
learning and leadership program could drape a light blue hood around
O'Neal's more-than-7-foot frame.
O'Neal then high-fived other
graduates as he made his way back to his seat along with his manager,
Cynthia Atterberry, who also received a doctorate in education.
The former All-Star and MVP
earned a cumulative GPA of 3.813 while completing 54 credit hours at
Barry, mostly through online courses and video conferencing over the
last four years. O'Neal's doctoral capstone project explored how CEOs
and business leaders use humor in the workplace.

[I'm impressed. He must be smarter and harder-working than people give him credit for.]
