      Shaq got his college girlfriend pregnant and left her. The mother of his daughter. He then cheated on his now ex-wife, the mother of his other 4 children. He preaches about loving and honoring his mother, but dishonors the mother(s) of his children. Some man he is.

    Love this man. Grew up an Orlando Magic fan. Besides MJ he was a hero to me longggg before anyone started hearing all the things he does and has done for so many kids/people. Being born in 86, watching him rise to superstar status, never could have guessed such an amazing human would be this giant superstar for poor communities. I know he got lucky being so big and skillful but for him to do everything he has done is something that EVERY rich, exceptional human should do. I've tried hard my entire life and I will never become someone like Shaq but if I ever did I hope that I could be the person he is. Proud of him in a way that I have rarely ever felt towards anyone in my life. Thanks diesel, you give hope to everyone like us that grew up with nothing and strives to become something more. Shaq is a wonderful human! Thank you!
    [Edit] Look up what he has done for the homeless and the most financially poor people out there. It's astounding.

    Class personified!
    Many more reasons to look up to a man like that, other than his size.
    Just the way he talks about his parents and the respect and love he has for them.
    I also think about the fact that they, I'm sure, wanted to give him more, but they gave all they had and Shaq saw that and that along with Love, communication between he, his mother and father instilled that fire in him to want to help others, Especially Children.
    Shaq man, your very *Special*, "The Most Dominant Big, To Ever Play The Game Of Basketball", but even more special and Dominant because of your contributions, (Monetary and Personal) to people/children AROUND THE WORLD!
    A Class Human Being, A Wonderful Example of Someone Who Leads And Certainly Cares About Others.....

      @Delightfully Charming I saw that video before.
      So I take it you've never in your life talked about or joned or made fun of anyone right?
      I know I have and I can admit it, but your record is Spotless, Unblemished, huh?
      You've never talked about anyone, it unfortunately got back to the individual and you've felt rotten because of it.
      All three participants were wrong, no question, but are they allowed to feel ashamed for what they did or said? Are they allowed to feel as though they let someone less fortunate down and want to make it up to them, or did the vid you included in your message that you want all to see, was it suppose to paint Shaq as this troll, or devisive, hateful uncaring person who's main intention was to hurt or really crush the guy.
      We have ALL said and done things to hurt and embarrass or shame others.
      I know that I have and when it circles back around to you, if your any decent type of individual, you "Feel Terrible"!
      We've all been foolish and immature growing up in our ways and actions and that's certainly not a PASS for it to be okay.
      I have family members that know Shaq personally and what you probably don't know is how he's reached out to that individual, or the millions of young people he's helped and aided their families, wether monetarily, by way of education, and even on more personal levels.
      So people can make mistakes, "Do Dumb Stuff", but they can also feel terrible afterwards and take steps to apologize hoping to right the wrong, *Without You Or I Knowing*, to show the person how sorry they were.
      The way it's been explained to me, that's the type of person Shaq is and coming from what I consider is a very Credible Source, I believe it.....

It's too bad that more athletes haven't given back to the children like Shag.has. kids look up to there idols rather its basketball football baseball what ever. Kids need to have big dreams and Shag has given the kids someone and something to look forward to. The kids love him because he's funny and shows them that someone cares how the grow up.
