Shaq wants to become a cop in every state or city he's playing in. In the past, he's only needed to show up to the police department to get some honorary certification. That doesn't seem to be the case in Ohio, where he's now playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Shaq applied to become a special deputy with the Cuyahoga County sheriff, but apparently it requires a bit more than just some training and a test. He wants to assist on the Ohio Internet Crimes Against Children task force so it takes a bit more involvement.

"It appears that Mr. O'Neal will need to undergo substantial additional training as well as successful completion of the state certification examination before he can become a certified peace officer in the state of Ohio," Holly Hollingsworth, spokeswoman for the state attorney general, told the Associated Press.

First, O'Neal's application needs to be accepted by the state, and then he needs to pass an entry exam, perform 36 hours of training within a six-month period, pass the Ohio police exam and pass a shooting test -- all to become an unpaid special deputy.

If Shaq thinks it isn't worth it, he can concentrate on developing his skills as an art curator. According to Bloomberg.com, O'Neal is overseeing "Size DOES Matter," an exhibition on the significance of scale in contemporary art coming in February to New York's Flag Art Foundation.

"New York is the art capital, so I'm pleased to be starting at the top," O'Neal told Bloomberg.com. "It was a little harder than I thought it would be. When you think about what each of the artists put into their work, what they are expressing and want to share with the world, you feel bad about having to narrow it down."

Shaq personally went through and picked the art for the show, which will feature 39 artists and more than 52 works of art.

"As a curator, I have a responsibility to the artists, who are my 'teammates,'" O'Neal said. "We all have to make each other look good -- no different than what I do on the court."
