If someday a neighbor calls a noise complaint on you for playing basketball too loud then, perhaps, you too can hoop it up on the street with Shaq. More likely probably not. Probably you'll get a citation, a fine, or pepper sprayed and beaten up. But there has at least been precedent established for Shaquille O'Neal showing up to some random street and playing ball with some kids after he showed up at the department of Bobby White, the Gainesville cop who tossed up some shots and threw down on a lowered rim instead of needlessly asserting his authority last week.

When White was set to return for a rematch, he brought along a ringer in the form of a former MVP, and 15-time All-Star, who scored almost 30,000 points in his career. It's safe to say they probably won by 100. But I don't know for sure because I didn't watch the whole video above. If you're stuck in a snowstorm, and are trying to fend off the urge to cannibalize, hold-off for another five minutes and give the footage a look.
