Shaquille O'Neal on Inside the NBA: Definitely Not the "Big Calculator"
I bet that isn't a calculus book

I may be a little late to the party on this, but it looks like Shaquille O'Neal could use a refresher in basic percentage calculations, division, or both.
Shaq shows off his math skills at 1:09
Now, of course, this kind of mistake could happen to anyone, but I am betting that with Barkley and Shaq on the same show, this kind of gaffe will be more frequent than other pre/post game coverage out there.
The Barkley-Shaq-Smith combo should be entertaining for fans, not terribly insightful, but fun to watch.
I think the saddest part is that Shaq has a Bachelor's degree from Louisiana State University, an online MBA from the University of Phoenix, and he is apparently working on an Ed.D in Human Resource Management through Barry University (Miami, FL).
I know that to get into many MBA programs you need to take a standardized test, a GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test). I have not checked with U. of Phoenix to see if this test is needed for admissions, though I would be surprised if this was not a requirement.
I really, REALLY want to know what Shaq’s GMAT score is.
This is definitely not a good reflection of our education system...or maybe it is? Sigh...
In any case, here is a word problem for the Shaq to work on to sharpen his skills:
If Charles leaves Philadelphia going 75 mph, and Kenny Smith leaves Houston going 55 mph, where will they meet?
What is the duplicate article?
Why is this article offensive?
Where is this article plagiarized from?
Why is this article poorly edited?
