Shaq Heads Back to School to Prepare for Sportscasting Career

Yesterday we showed you Terrell Owens’ foray into the sportscasting world. Today we bring you the news that Shaquille O’Neal is headed back to school to hone his skills for a future broadcasting career. Sadly, he’s not pulling a Rodney Dangerfield and enrolling as a full-time student, but the Big Aristotle is currently taking a three-day broadcast program at Syracuse University that’s put on in conjunction with the NBA Players Association. And his presence is taking the school and city by storm…

So wait — he went to get a slice of cheese pizza first and then he walked down to Starbucks? Fascinating.

You can listen to Shaq interviewing NBA draft prospect Stephen Curry for his class at the New York Times (Look for it on the left, under the pic of him with headphones on). You will notice Shaq’s voice sounds a lot different than is usually does. This is because he is actually enunciating his words for once.
