“Any man who doesn’t love and honor his mother is not a real man”. Words to live by-
bible stays tru
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.

@@kalebmartinson I don't have to answer to you about anything.
Shaq deserves everything he's got and more. High quality human being.
yes
Shaq’s more then just basketball, he’s one of the good ones
shaq big big big respect may de good Lord bless you in every thing you do that good....much love bro

Facts
4 rap albums too. Also has been in more commercials than anyone.
Yes he is
"I dont give back, I'm doing what my mom told me to do." Damn that's awesome!!!!
THIS IS WHAT HUMBLE LOOKS LIKE A MAN WITH EVERYTHING AND MORE BUT STILL FINDS THE TIME TO HELP THE POOR AND NEEDY.
I love reading about what Shaq is doing. His parents instill great values in him. Keep up the good work!!!. 👍 Love ❤
this post is what it looks like to be some dumb kid seeking attention by using all caps!!!!
Shaq is doing his Father will. ♥️
What an absolute legend. No NBA player (or any sports figure that I can think of) has ever given so much back. I love the big man!
Anytime Shaq talks about his mother it gives me chills. Love this man to his core. Such a big Teddy bear.
Shaq is a National Treasure. He played some basketball too.
Now I understand why Shaq works so much he's giving back to the community. What a hero
Her mama raised him up very well and she is a woman with the heart of gold. He give credit to the mum telling him to go help out. God bless you Shaq's mum
His step dad took care of him and made a huge impact too. Huge respect to his parents for being a role model.
Smart man with a big heart, thank you Shaq for all you do.
He is a FINE MAN from his heart
I'm sure you've never said anything or done anything mean in your entire life. Yep, that one mistake erases all of the good he has done with his life. You're right. What are you doing to help others again?
Love hearing stories about Shaq. He does so much good people don’t even realize about.
Exactly. People devote far too much attention to Shaq's body, and they fail to see the power of Shaq's positive work for American communities.
I have never met Mr ONiel but I love what he has, a wonderful heart and strong spirit.
Dr. O’Neil You are an inspiration.
he basically bought his degree
@@danielabatabogdanov8586 no he did not. you are an idiot.
It's O'Neal
@@visualfoundations5707 i dont consider EHD´´s doctors.
Shaq is a shinning light in a field of men who only value money, luxury, and fame
Nice MY All Time Favorite NBA Player
❤I love Shaq he's so handsome I think I sure would like to go out to dinner with him and he is so respectful. Shaq you are the real man.
Man, your real special. Let there be light throughout your life.
Amen
I am very touched the fact that you respect so much for your parents and that's what millions of kids who follow you should do if they love you.
He's so kind hearted. I think this is so sweet. Good job shaq! Honor and respect your mom.
Love Shaq the MAN!!
He is a life saver for the kids. We need more people like him. LOL man. ❤❤❤❤❤
I Love Shaq! Lord Jesus Continue to Bless Shaq his kids family siblings etc. thank you Lord for giving him a heart like your to help your people! Blessings to All! From Georgia
Everytime I turn around they talk about him he is so wonderful he really does a lot of surprising things for people everyday thank you for going out there and helping people like that just because you can thank you and bless you
For such a big man, he's so softly spoken. He's a gent of a man and a hero to many. What a great man.
Love your mom !!! She raised you and your family like a mom should !!! Your the best !!!
Love Shaq! He’s a very caring man😘🤗👍🏽👍🏽🙏🏽
Shaq, you are one of the greatest human being of this century! God bless you and have more and more money to help the needy.
Literacy is so important ... .thank you shaq ....mothers are so important....
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.
You would have to look a long long time to find a human being like Shaq. A quality human that gives back without a second thought. There are many many times he gives back you will never know about. A guy that listened to his parents and they did a fantastic job.
God Bless you Shaq! I knew your Dad. He was a Good Man also.( RIP) SALUTE! ( Ret. Vet)
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.....
Every word of your comment perfect you speak much better than I ever could very well spoken
@@rudolphcasillas2003 thanks.
Just an average guy who's made alot of mistakes, and in some cases had to learn the very hard way to correct them and show a repentant attitude toward others.
Always valuable lessons to be learned!
Thank you my friend...

A living legend. An example of what every man should strive to be. Shaquille O'Neal. Keep setting a great example big fella.
You are an amazing man Shaq I love to listen to you talk about your parents and how you give back to the people. It was amazing watching you in the NBA to and I’m glad you bring up your children the way you do ,someday it would be an honor to shake your hand and say thank sir for what your doing .!
What a great man. His Mother did a fabulous job. God bless him!!!

Watching this during the lockdown and hoping that more rich and famous people follow his example and keep doing it! It’s gonna be a tough year for a lot of people. Thank you for leading my example Shaq!!! 🙌🏽 we need more like you brother!!
What a blessing Shaq is to the community. If you're lucky enough to make it to the top, make sure you send the elevator back down! Exactly what he is doing! Peace be with you Shaq! Keep up the good fight!
I love you Shaquille O'Neal you're a good guy don't stop doing what you're doing Good Deeds God bless you Gwendolyn Lewis see you later bye-bye
This was an impressive and honest interview. I have enjoyed this now sharing
This is my kind of celebrity sadly there are few like him . Zero in Hollywood .
I didn't always like Shaq, but he's the Man! His philosophy is reminiscent to my pastor's. My pastor says, "when God blesses you, you become somebody else's blessing."
He's so sweet!
Love shack class act
What a top bloke! Totally deserves all his success
Shaq is a big man but has a very big heart too. You are not only a role model for the kids but all professional sportspersons. Thank you, Shaq. Respect.
GREAT INTERVIEW
The definition of being a true Gentle Giant❤ love you Shaq
God Bless you my Brother! We need more like you to help our communities.
A true American treasure.
Yes love Shaq the real man God bless you 🙏
The true epitome of what it means to be a GENTLE GIANT with a GENTLE SOUL. I AM A TRUE FAN OF THIS BIG FELLA !!!!!
What a guy! Thanks Shaq you challenge us all to be better!
Shaq's mother ain't got nothing to worry about. HE GOT HER. !! AWESOME MAN.
Love the interview and it shows why Shag is such a good man. It's all about parenting preferably both parents. It shows how much respect he had for his parents and other adults that helped him. 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. Thanks Shag for all the lives you are changing and given hope to...
You can find so many videos of him being charitable .. This man is a gem
Shaq is such a good man.
Thank You Shaq , God blessed you with your heart !!!! And Family !!! Awesome Work Sir !!!
The rich disgusting celebrities will never be like shaq… he’s a great genuine person. Others will take their money to their graves rather than giving back to the needy. Society is f up
He is the GODFATHER now. Moms are the best
I haven’t respected my mother until I grew older and understood that mental health is a real BIG issue. I truly respect my mother and miss her greatly! My father is amazing! Was hurt in the process but it’s just part of life I guess.
Love his heart 💜 what a great human being. I love that his shoe 👟 brands is at Walmart!
" when you give alms, your left hand must not know what your right hand is doing. " ...Matthew 6: 1 - 6, 16 - 18. Shaq's a good man.
Shaq was raised so well, he had a very smart Mama, and now he is passing that onto his children as well ❤️🙏🌟
Shaquille O'Neal is literally coolest celebrity I've ever seen
Oh my! Your grandma prophesied about you! You are indeed blessed and special!
Ive watched almost all of Shaq's interviews but the one on 6:13 to 7:03 was the deepest.
Its such a big plus to able to grow up with a mom and dad it makes you a decent human being
Shaq makes life look like heavenly 😍
I wish more people were like him.
There's a special place in heaven for Shaq!!
Man God Broke The Mold!!! When He Mad Shaq!!! I Love this Human!!

I really love Shaq O'Neal ❤️. God bless him always
He's one special man. Humble caring funny not a it's all about me.God bless
What a great Man!!!❤️
All the publicly famous men and unknown like myself, follow this! Humble, quiet, charitable! This is a great example of a being a man!
I have been watching Shaq life and listening to him. This is a Man that made his own dream come true.
This Man is still traveling around the world as D.J. Diesel, fulfilling other dreams because, why not.?. He has earned my respect as a man, because of his perseverance and moral's.
Pls protect Shaq at all cost.
I Love This Dude. You Made Us Proud Brah. Newark, NJ 07103
Shaq's such a good dude.
How many rich people out there are selfish or just think about themselves only,millionaires are still hungry for more money,big Shaq is not that kind of human,,make me chills when he speaks about people needs helps,God bless him,
Wasn't the fastest man, missed 10 shots in a row... but never gave up. His mother was his role-model and she raised him right. The best inspirational speakers and knowledgeable guys all come from humble beginnings like Shaq.
He's a Great example to everyone!
Even though I haven’t lived in Newark for about 46 years, when someone asks where I’m from I tell them Newark, and I’m 70 years old now
Guys Shaquille O'Neil is one of the people who his name should be passed as a saint name because this guy everything he gives he does it without asking anything back
The guy is too good for our times
Respect
I love you shaq
Hard not to appreciate and respect this man. He is the single best “pitch man” in the entire advertising world because he’s relatable. He’s funny, he’s sharp, and he’s authentic. He’s also probably the most generous celebrity in history, dollar for dollar. He does so much for so many, and he even imparts wisdom and advice and sincerity to kids along the way. In this day and age, when so many successful athletes and former athletes often show their true - and not so commendable - colors, he does so many positive things and genuinely contributes to society. He deserves an enormous amount of credit. And props to his Mom, Coach Dale Brown, and Ms King at the Boys & Girls Club.
Shaq is an American hero that will be remembered long after he’s gone.
