I would happily contribute what I can, and encourage a man like Shaq to spearhead the marketing with both personal contributions and his name. If there is one thing that everyone should agree on it's healthcare for kids.



and GEAUX SHAQ!!!


PS: We need a Shaq emoticon! He deserves it!!!

This guy is Solid Gold!

He is firing a shot across the bow of other Big Ships, who want what we have in Shaq.

This is so positive for LSU, especially what he said about his development as a man, athlete and professional. But it will get the attention of others who are not sure where to do as Shaq did, now they know.

More than anything else, his goal is to help the least of our brothers and he is focusing on the young and vulnerable. This is a wise move by Shaquille O'Neal.

Could it be some sort of charity/research children's hospital - funded from private donations?

Shaq Daddy is a beautiful human being.
I hope he builds a Childhood obesity fitness/nutritional Preventive Medicine wing for overweight kids as that is a passion of his. There is nothing like that in Baton Rouge. I will be happy to get my checkbook out for His Shaqphonic.

So if Dr. Shaq can pull this off then some will remember him as a great athlete. But I think more people will remember him as a great humanitarian the same as Danny Thomas is with St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. Man! What a legacy. I'll make a pledge.

Shaq is a living legend.

He's like the second coming of Elvis.

What an incredible human being!

Don't know if this has already been mentioned, but the cost to build a hospital is about $1 million dollars per licensed bed, not cheap. I would imagine if all of this comes to fruition, Shaq will contribute some funds, but a ton of funds will have to come from other sources.
