Shaq Helped A Mom At The Register Who Couldn’t Afford School Laptops For Her Kids

Shaquille O'Neal juggles a lot of endorsement deals and business ventures, but he also continues to use that money to give back to people who need it. For example...

quote:
“My motto lately is it could be worse, and that could be you.” - Shaq says he goes into stores looking for moms to help out. In this moment, he said he saw a mom at the register who couldn’t afford school laptops for her kids, Shaq stepped up and said “I got you.”

Shaq is just a terrific human being.

Shaq has to be the most likeable guy on the planet. And it's all genuine too, not one ounce of phony with him.

WorkinDawg•35 months

100%. He does this stuff without pre arranged by publicist and a film crew. You have to really dig to see most of it. A truly great human being

Shaq for governor

He's a good guy and I believe it just comes natural to him. Salute to his parents. They sure got it right.

CajunBullet•35 months

It all starts at home with respect, discipline, honesty, and appreciation. Correct Shaq's parents got it done and done right.

Shaq's a giver, whether it be laptops to kids or face punches to Ben Simmons.

Shaq has a long history of doing this kind of thing. Whether it being stopping on side of the road to assist with a flat tire or buying things for people when he is out and about. Let’s be honest, Shaq is probably the most recognizable person in the US and probably one of the most in the world due to him being on TV a ton and being unbelievably large (if you see him you know it’s him and not someone who looks like him). So when he goes out, people notice but he seems to love it.

Which is why I have to laugh at the ridiculousness of that Papa John's commercial where he is in disguise. Yeah, long hair and fake mustache are going to hide his size.

It's a commercials. As you said.

ellunchboxo•35 months

So she took laptops to the register knowing she couldn’t afford them, and Shaq happened to see it?

kywildcatfanone•35 months

Was wondering the same thing. Publicity

Bayoubred•35 months

Sometimes, you write a check you can't cover and hope a miracle comes along. Been there...

Probably thought it was less than it was because all these stupid "discounts" they try to pull. It happens. Good on Shaq! Great representative of LSU!
