Shaquille O’Neal
Shaquille O’Neal certainly is no dumb jock. While he was dominating the basketball court as one of the biggest centers in the NBA, O’Neal was also busy busting open his books. He earned his master’s degree online from the University of Phoenix in 2005, but he didn’t stop there. A year after retiring from the NBA, O’Neal earned an education doctorate in Human Resource Development from Barry University, with a thesis titled “The Duality of Humor and Aggression in Leadership Styles.” The charismatic big man once revealed that he wants to become a motivational speaker and has his eyes on law school.
