O’Neal has long had an interest in law enforcement. He went through the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Reserve Academy and became a reserve officer with the Los Angeles Port Police, and trained and was sworn in as a Miami Beach reserve officer. In the latter role, he once helped make an arrest.

O’Neal already is an accomplished rapper, putting out five albums and one compilation. His 1993 debut album, “Shaq Diesel,” went platinum. Why not grab the mic again? He's still younger than Jay-Z.

O’Neal had a reality series, “Shaquille,” on ESPN, and hosted another one called “Shaq’s Big Challenge” on ABC. He had another ABC show called “Shaq Vs.” in which he competed against other athletes in their sports. And his love for custom cars and trucks could spawn a TV spinoff. How 'bout Shaq on "Ice Road Truckers?"

O'Neal served as guest conductor of the Boston Pops Orchestra during a 2010 holiday concert at Symphony Hall. Is he ready to hit us with his own brand of hip-hop/classical mashup?

With Oprah's show coming to an end, it's the perfect time for "The Shaq Show" to conquer the world of daytime talk. Guests for his first show? Kobe Bryant, the Dalai Lama and a special performance by the Fu-Schnickens.
 

O’Neal already has appeared in several TV and movie projects, and the big guy seems like a natural to kick butt on the big screen. Shaq as the new Superman? How 'bout "Kazaam 2?"

Everyone knows Shaq can bring home a winner. But is there a horse big enough to hold him? Count on Shaq showing up for the big race if they rename it the Belmont Steaks.
 

Shaq could run for mayor in any one of the cities he's played in and probably win. He might get a challenge from Charles Barkley in Phoenix, but don't bet against The Big Cactus.
 

We know Shaq can boogie, so he'd be a natural for DWTS. Question is, who's big enough to be his partner?
 

Shaquille O'Neal appears headed behind the microphone, but the big fella is so talented, there seems to be no limit to the things he could do with his life after basketball.
