VIDEO: Shaq shows up to play streetball with cop, kids

Last week, a police officer in Gainesville, Fla., responded to a rather ludicrous call of "kids playing basketball loudly" by arriving on scene and playing with them.

It seems word got back to NBA legend and reserve law enforcement officer Shaquille O'Neal, who promptly headed to Gainesville to add some size to the streetball festivities. For the kids and the cops' sake, he refrained from attacking the rim.

Meanwhile, up in D.C., other police officers were taking advantage of the northeast snowstorm to show off their Marshawn Lynch skills.
