Most people have no experience talking to kids that size but like Shaq said, he’s got 6 and 1 is the same age. Everything about Shaq’s life is so unique
It must be very hard to be a shy 13 year old but have the physicality of a grown man. The way people look at you and treat you is not what you are ready for mentally and emotionally yet. Wish him the very best! ❤️🙏🏻
I can't imagine this kids life as I was the exact opposite. When I was 13, looked like I was 10 and life was very , very tough as all of your classmates feel like older kids. People used to ask if I was a genius and skipped a couple of grades. But I persevered, ended up at 5'8" and decades later, all is well.
@@NumberOneBlitz I'm right there with you, it's funny because as you get older your height becomes a positive, but as a kid oddly enough, you are often ostracized for it. It makes interpersonal relationships pretty difficult when you are 11 and bigger than your friends' parents. Nobody believes how old you are, everyone asking the same tired jokes or if you play basketball. It was honestly torture.

Still crying, this hit me so hard. I understand being broke and not having your own bedroom, no privacy at 16 years old. Thanks Shaq for not forgetting.
OMG, not having your own bedroom. OH the horror. If you had a roof over your head, food and clothes, clean water, access to education, etc, you had it 90% better than most people in the world. I seriously can't believe so many people agreed that not having your own bedroom was total deprivation and child abuse.
I know this video is a year old. What Shaq did for this kid is an example of how all successful people should help the less fortunate. I also agree with the advice that you should try to never embarrass your family.

This is absolutely phenomenal from shaq, And the mostly important part is when he said to the young man,listen to our mom and grandmom cos they know more than you do,and I think that's what's lacking rite now in this society. Most teenagers think they know,but obviously, they have no clue and they end up in trouble
I can't stop crying 😢, wow, Shaq is such a good man with a good heart. He really helps those in need. This young man will never forget this day. It's all up from here for him.🙂
Clearly a smart kid. He asked the most important question. That response from Shaq, much more than the sneakers, will see him through life with, or without the nba. Kudos to momma and grandma for raising such an awesome young man. I have a feeling Shaq will become a staple in this kid's life.
Shaq is a much needed person in this sick world. Glad he made it, cause he knows how much it helps to have someone who cares about what your going through and opportunity.
Bless his heart, my little brother wears size 16 shoes which are hard enough to find. I couldn’t imagine how difficult it would be to try and get 18s for this dude. Glad he’s getting some help ❤️
This young man is going to be giving back to society later on just like Shaq, because he is never going to forget this great act of kindness. We definitely need more kind people in this world like him. This is a great story. God bless you Shaq.
True yeah because it was ridiculous when shaq got signed by Lakers as kids getting murdered for there sneaks as believe shaq and olajuwon suggested there shoes be affordable.
I don’t usually comment but this story really touched my heart...I appreciate famous, successful people who never forget where they came from and help the ones in need when they get to the top...I salute you, Sir Shaq O’Neal! May God bless you more so you can continue helping others! ❤️
Shaq is always very generous and awesome like this! He spends a lot of time here in Las Vegas and he's always making people happy. He's one of the REAL good guys. And always the most respectful person in the room. Always. 💜 this boy is going to remember this for a lifetime and I wish him all the luck at college (next year I think) and in his life. Good mama and grandma too. Bless their hearts 💕
Shaq, a symbol of greatness. This is the type of news that should be played on News Media Outlets across America. Role models. Not just Allstars like Shaq, but anyone that has made it to the professional level of they're sport or art and got a handle on life and showing how to give back. Shaq is one of many good souls that do this and yes many want to do it in secret, but it really sets the bar for others when they do it publicly. Someone helped Shaq when he was in need, and now he's giving it back. A gentleman, a scholar in his right, a legend. Loved Shaq as a Laker, and could never forget his LSU days. Thanks for the memories, thanks for the lessons. God bless.💙🇺🇲
This young man is lovely!!! Thank you for sharing!!! He is going to be one of the greats just you want and see. Shaq as always, just a lovely man with a massive heart. Such a sweet soul and has never forgotten where he came from and how he never wants to go back. It much be completely exhausting being in demand all the time but he does it with a massive smile and we love him for it!!!
Shaq is one in a million!!! This beautiful family is as well. This made me cry my eyes out. I pray that as my 2yo son grows that he crosses paths with good men like this so he can glean such beautiful attributes from. The way that Shaq gives of himself to others especially strangers takes my breathe away. God bless each one especially this young man. He's gonna go so far because he's been given so much from his Mom and Grandmom. These two women are jewels❤️
When Shaq answered his question of how to stay on the right path. "For the reason that are standing on your left and your right." His mum and his grandma. Thats powerful. Got me tired up.
I teared up because of Shaqs support for the youngster. He gave him simple things to do just to stay focused. Bless everyone involved in this blessing to the family.
This is so beautiful, I wish you more of our celebrities would step up and give back. May God continue to bless you Shaquille O'Neal and may that young man's future be filled with success and blessings best wishes to him and his family 💞❤️💞
Shaq is an American treasure. 1992 or 93 he used to work in the soup kitchens at the holidays in Orlando. No PR team or cameras. Just doing what he was raised to do. Giving back from his rich talent and success.
Shaq I respect you to the fullest my brother. Never forget where you come from and you are a good family man that takes care of your kids. You show us there is more to life than just having wealth.
This guy is amazing. I can't say it enough . Just when you think the world has gone to sh** this man restores your faith in mankind. Truly a heart of gold and an angel on earth. Thank you
I don’t need shoes but I would be speechless meeting Shaq! One of the most caring, giving, loving individuals who is the perfect role model in society. Everyone loves Shaq! Thanks for all you do Shaq!!!
Shaq is too much. He just is the best, most considerate person that we see. He's a grown man! Represents Newark to the fullest. Me and his father grew up a block apart. Phil Harrison played basketball at South Side HS In Newark, NJ. I always looked up to him, as he graduated about 7 years before me. Shaq is just awe inspiring, and his charm is off the charts. He helps so many people, and most of the time, there are no cameras.
Some people don’t take this serious but Shaq probably just saved his life. Look at how the kid is looking at Shaq. He’s not hearing him he’s listening. Good job Shaq❤️
And shaq never change. He still the big guy try and put hisself in younger kids life. He know the road he travel to get where he is today. Much love to the shaq
This man has a great heart. He loves everyone that comes to know him. How i wish i could meet him in life.With all the riches you have, you are so humble. May God bless you.
Wow shaq is really a good dude GOD BLESS HIM AND HIS FAMILY HE DESERVES AND WORKED FOR EVERYTHING HE HAS AND BEING A BLESSING AND GIVING BK IS SOO KOOL

I'm a grown Black Man and this made me cry like a child. Shaq is a real Human being!!!
Agreed👌
Old ass man but this give me sad feelings, let's say cry
Makes grown white men cry too.
He,s a king among men
👍☺️
Remember he is still a child and is shy like a child. Shaq is a man and knows how to communicate .
Yes He Is Shy.
Most people have no experience talking to kids that size but like Shaq said, he’s got 6 and 1 is the same age. Everything about Shaq’s life is so unique
👍☺️
He’s 13 and I am 6 1 that kid is taller than me
One thing I can say about shack he always gives his bad props He's forgotten him and to be in the man that he is
It must be very hard to be a shy 13 year old but have the physicality of a grown man. The way people look at you and treat you is not what you are ready for mentally and emotionally yet. Wish him the very best! ❤️🙏🏻
I kind of understand. I didn't grow that much past 17 I was 6ft 5 now 6ft 6. But I was wearing a size 14 at 13 years old and 6ft 1. Now I'm size 15.

I'm 30 an a 15 US now, I stopped around 17 with my feet thankfully. But middle school was a 13 and moving up
This was beautiful even if that kid doesn’t make it to the nba he’ll always remember this gesture and he’ll be successful in anything he does
He’s just 13
He was 13, almost 14yrs old then, that was over 3yrs ago. He's 6'7" 250lbs with a full scholarship to GT. He's 17 or 18now.
