      Just because he’s an honor roll student doesn’t mean he’s going to be successful. I knew plenty of people in high school that had great grades but ended up on drugs or in jail. The content of his character is what matters, he’s clearly a good kid with a good head on his shoulders. That’s what will get him far in life, not grades.

      @@BornstellarMakesEternalLasting People easily forget that you have to be great at a sport, work hard and not just be genetically gifted. There are endless amounts of big/tall guys that never made the NFL or NBA. That kid is not going to make either unfortunately. More than likely he will end up in a wheelchair by the time he is in his mid 30s because of all of that weight/size.
      If he is that fat at 14 you can only imagine how fat he will be once his metabolism slows down and he gets a bit older. I feel sorry for him because more than likely he is going to spend most of his adult life disabled. Being that big is a curse.

    We need more people like Shaq, He has done so much good for so many people after his career. He always tells kids to listen to their parents and work hard in school, he is just one of the few athletes that are truly role models!
