I met a Lt. Colonel back when I was in the Air Force. He went to Dartmouth and told me exactly what you said there. It's not about the degree. It's about the sacrifice you put up with to get it - and to do well.
Say what you want about it, an advanced degree says something about the person. Especially for a guy like Shaq who obviously doesn't need to do it. He's not even grandstanding, because he actually had to show up once or twice. You think his classmates wouldn't want to secretly see the jock not do so well?
