[h2]Shaquille O'Neal, in statue form, sits in Harvard Square[/h2]
By Kelly Dwyer
In case you missed it, Shaquille O'Neal(notes) did pose as a statue for almost an hour Thursday afternoon, in Cambridge, Massachusetts' Harvard Square. This is not an exaggeration, nor is it a test. I realize that I could write just about anything regarding this guy ("Shaq took part in a dune buggy race with Peter Cetera, while wearing a massive red tuxedo, last weekend") and you'd have to believe it. Because the 2000 NBA MVP is just that wacky.
But, no, he actually pulled this off. Check out this photo, from the Boston Globe:
That's pretty much how it went from about 2 p.m. Eastern until a little before 3 p.m. on Thursday. Here's how he explained it, to ESPNBoston's Chris Forsberg:

"I was watching the royal British guards. If you know anything about those guys they have tremendous discipline. The other idea is I always wanted to tell people I went to Harvard."

So O'Neal tried the same approach, just substituting a fuzzy hat for a black hoodie. The Celtics center also Tweeted about his intentions before making it, in his words, "statue time."
This dude should just retire already...has he even touched a basketball since the end of last season?
