Shaquille O’Neal plans to run for sheriff, but he isn't saying where yet.

"In 2020, I plan on running for sheriff," the basketball legend better known as "Shaq" told the NBC affiliate station in Atlanta.

“This is not about politics for me,” he added. “This is something I always wanted to do. It’s about bringing people closer together. You know, when I was coming up, people loved and respected the police, the deputies. And, I want to be the one to bring that back, especially in the community I serve.”

Shaq is eligible to run for sheriff in Henry County, Ga. He also has residency in Florida, as well as time before the 2020 election to establish residency somewhere else.

"I haven't made up my mind yet," he says.

At least we know he won't be making any shots.

Shaq has also taken on various roles as a reserve police officer in Florida, Los Angeles and Arizona, all places where he played during his basketball career.

I do recall him working beach security keeping the drunks and beach bums in line.

Isn't Shaq a flat-Earther?

Nope! He wasn't just mocking Kyrie

Good. Trigger-happy police officers would do well to learn from him (especially in the South where a lot of cops seem to suffer from Rambo complexes)

I would absolutely love Shaq as my sheriff. Anytime shit goes down, he can just slam dunk justice on its ass.

Well he's a mason so he's got a pretty good chance.

Wasn't he an honorary deputy at some point?
