Shaq is one of the few athletes who talks the talk and walks the walk. Classy individual. I can see him sitting at a Waffle House and eating a meal with the average folks.
I went to a EDM show in 2019 and Shaq was DJ Diesel for the headliner. After his set, he came down and moshed with the crowd and I got to slap his shoulder a couple times lol. He’s definitely a man for the people.
He used to come over here to southern virginia all of the time and eat at your run of the mill hole in the wall restaurants all the time. A very classy guy
I heard recently that one of Shaq's kids said, "Dad, we're rich!" Shaq said, "No. I"M rich." Implying that his kids were going to have to work and not sponge off him.
Brett baker...that's is true..he stated that he will not have self entitled children!...his kindness and generosity is the reason ALMIGHTY God, continues to bless him!...I love so much and he doesn't brag about kindness!
@@Lilbit2215 it reminded me when I asked my Grandma "when will I know if I'm rich." Her answer - "when your money works for you....and you don't work for your money."
Also heard a story of him buying his son a Rolex…so there’s that side of it too. His kids will be fine, they know that, he knows that, it’s just part of the game.
@@aaronbrendel7624 It’s not about Shaq, it’s about Ramsey, because he proclaimed he is a Christian, yet he is praising a freemason. And i will not go into depth about freemasons. But they use philanthropy for their own benefit, and they do it in such matter, that draws attention. So when they give - they receive something out of it.
People say Dave is a Christian and indeed Dave says so too. But believe me and the New Testament if it’s revealed to you, Dave has demonstrated through the years many times that he is driven by greed first and foremost and believes his earned rent is mana from heaven. It’s as related to heaven as much as Putins money. Giving a % of this money to his chosen charity matters not one single thing, may as well give it to himself, which is what he is actually doing in a perverse way. He is blind to the injustice in the world and how the pyramid works. He’s not a violent man, nor does he hurt anyone on purpose. He’s a man more desperate for money than the most desperate caller. He wants you to climb that pole even if he knows others must be buried in the foundations. Never mentions the billions suffering or the injustice in the system he loves more than anyone including..he’s aware though of these injustices and has a platform to discuss
Shaq is one of the few celebrities that I actually admire. I saw a clip of him the other day saying that he makes sure he blesses at least one person every time he leaves the house. Amazing guy.
I bought a homeless guy a hamburger the other day. It felt good to help. I would love to change lives and bless the world the way Shaq has. He's so incredibly blessed and using his wealth righteously.
It might not be similar in a dollar amount, but this might be just what this guy needed to make his day or to get through the day. So this was on its own a great act of kindness.
for Christmas my best friend and I bought 200 can openers and he handed them out to victims of Typhoon Odette in the Philippines. Some of these women were crying from "such" generosity. One mother showed my friend her hand with a finger missing. She lost it from opening a can with a machete when the blade slipped when she was 18. Some of these mothers, daughters, women had never even seen a can opener up close. A simple $3 USD item and so many of them never owned one because $3 to them is a full day's earnings (if not more). It bought me to tears and confirmed my decision of permanently moving there in late April.
LoL 🤣 you guys had me for a second! Shaq literally started a shoe brand cause he thought basketball shoes were to expensive for kids and their parents.
@@X11CHASE Yep. Most of us are too caught up into the famous name brands. I'll admit I was guilty of this when his shoes were out. Had to have the Jordans. Stephon Marbury also tried to release a shoe that cost under $20 because he felt kids in the neighborhood couldn't afford the name brands. People laughed at his shoes which is a shame.
I’m a college student and I went with my friends to a restaurant. The bill came out to 60$ and I handed the waiter an 100$ and told him to keep the change. That was the best feeling ever!
@@rushwillsin2306 just?, should've clarified, if you listen to his interviews, he will tell you there were periods they had hard times. To go further, I realize not all single moms have a hard time, but what I do know is that he looks for them. I know his father was military and I don't know the full story, but I have listened to many interviews with him. Either way, he had a heart for those in need and identifies with them in some way.
@@rushwillsin2306 Yep I was about to say the same thing. Even though he wasn't his biological father he married his mother when shaq was very young and shaq credits him for teaching him how to be a man. Not all black athletes fall into the raised by a single mother category.
The generosity that Shaq has is amazing. Ive seen so many stories of blessings he has given, it warms my heart. Its not just that tho, its the integrity he has in how he carries himself and conducts his business as well
@@ceomike5178 At first I felt like that but since he’s a pretty common site in Orlando then it just feels like he’s a normal dude. No fancy clothes… Nice car though.
One of my favorite things about Shaq is that he is a doctor. He didn't want to be known as just a basketball player, so he went and got a PhD in education. Dr. O'Neal
My parents have friends whose father was dying of cancer back in 2005. The family knew he had only a few months left and took him to Disney World (among other destinations during this time). When they were on the streets of Orlando they saw Shaq about to hop in a car (limo?). The daughter of the dying father ran up to Shaq before he hopped in the vehicle and told him the situation the family and the father were in. Shaq told the driver to wait, ran up to the family and gave them all hugs and posed for pictures. Theres a million stories out there like this about Shaq.
Shaq is an awesome example for the rich, to prove that being generous is not going to make them financially worse off, just the opposite that their lives will be enriched and all of society is better off. If anything, wealth comes with a responsibility to help people in need all the time and Shaquille embraces it.
I agree with you I think some people are very intentional and others trust other people to decide where their money goes; I think the 2nd is easier to have corrupted
I heard another story about Shaq, he was in a shoe store and a mom came up to him and said why are you guys charging over a 100 for these shoes. And he handed her a bunch of money to buy them but she said she is still not happy because no one else can afford them. So he said you know what your right and he decided to make a much cheaper high end basketball shoe for everyone because of that interaction
not to mention, he made millions and millions of dollars playing basketball, and instead of squandering it he used the money as an entrepreneur to purchase 155 Five Guys restaurants and grew it substantially. His net worth today is WAY more than what he earned playing basketball or through endorsements. And then he can "give like no one else"!
This is why I believe there should be a stipulation in sports contracts that athletes earning ove a certain amount or receive huge signing bonuses should be make to put at least 75 percent of that contract into a trust for a period of time to get them over the "lottery" feeling and teach them good sound financial sense. Most do not have this discipline, Shaq does
I’ve always admired Shaq. He is such a gentleman and an amazing human being! Please share more stories like this. He restores my faith in humanity. Be kind and be generous when you can!
I met him a couple years back when I worked for CBS News. We were set up, and didn’t know he was going to be there. I turn around and he came walking up and I felt TERRIFIED…y’all…in person, than man is insanely intimidating. Until he began talking and gave off the most chill vibes. He thought I was 12 years old. And joked around with us. 😂 At the end, I got a pic, he shook my hand, and carried on. You’d never imagine he’s a multimillionaire by his personality…and that’s how it should be. Props to him for his unwavering generosity. 😌🔥
His girlfriend was from a town near my hometown. He used to come visit the local arcade. The only way I knew who he was, was because he was 7 ft 2. Just a good humble all-around nice guy.
I used to tip 20% but listening to Dave, and I am on step six, just a small mortgage left to payoff, I tip bigger to help these servers out. I am doing fine, makes sense to help other working people that are providing a service to me. Thanks Dave.
Everyone is always hyped about Jordan’s and all this high end basketball shoes costing over $200 but Shaq has provided thousands of kids with affordable good looking shoes. He has my respect for sure
There's a video on TH-cam where Shaq walks into a Walmart and asks a small kid if he has a bicycle. When the boy said no he told the kid to pick out a bike and then paid for it.
I’ve had the opportunity to meet shack a couple of times, he used to come into a restaurant that I managed in Lake Mary Florida many many many years ago. He was always very generous to the staff.
Shaq has been a philantropist and knows exactly where his fortune should go on purpose. He one time saw a stranded family in a highway and pulled over, reached out to the family and called the cops for help. He is an amazing person and doesnt get involve in any politics or social issues. Not like the cry baby we all knew.
I literally wanted to be like Shaq as a kid. 5yo in Houston Texas (he was with the Orlando Magic at the time) tried my little heart out to be dominant in basketball like him. Fast forward 10 years I was a starter on varsity and 7th in the state for rebounds. Fast forward another 20 and I genuinely hope that my kids can have someone as talented, loved, admired, and giving as him to look up to. May God continue to bless you Shaq!
I agree with what you said on the other video that "there are greedy people on both ends of the spectrum of rich and poor" and to add to that there are gererous people on both ends of that same spectrum it just looks different for someone who's poor and may not look like generosity when they help someone out with buying someone something as small as a coffee or chipping in to help with paying for gas because the other person didn't realize they didn't have the exact amount of money. I've seen generosity from strangers both rich and poor which is heartwarming to say the least. I've seen someone who is a poor old pensioner but living within their means, live on less to be able to help others out when needed and never told anyone. That person reminds me of the widow in the bible who Jesus said she gave more than the others because she gave everything. I love hearing about generosity regardless of wealth being a factor so please keep these coming and I'll keep sharing because I'm tired of people raggin on rich people and saying they're all bad and greedy the same as I'm tired of assuming that all poor people are lazy and don't manage their money.
When John said: Can you imagine being able to do this for somebody ✋️ Dudes, you can do this in the dollar store! And we all should be doing it more often🙏
@@carloslaguna7036 Dave never said all millionaires are great. But he also doesn't believe in the diatribe that the financial equality people spout either though.
Shaq is one of the absolute best men ever. Ive seen countless videos of his generosity in action. There was a young man, who couldn't find shoes big enough to wear to his high school prom if I remember correctly. Anyways, Shaq heard about it, contacted him and told him where to go. He met the guy and his family there and bought him several pair of shoes, clothes, etc. He spent thousands on this young man. Another instance he saw a homeless man sitting at a table in McDonald's and he asked the guy if he was hungry and what he liked on the menu and bought the man a sack full of food to take with him. That kinda stuff makes is what we should see on tv. Not the BS that's on now. What a blessing Shaq is to the world.
EXCELLENT JOB TO THE PRODUCER JAMES! WE NEED MORE AND MORE OF THIS TO GIVE HOPE TO THE WORLD! GOD BLESS YOU ALL THANK YOU FOR THE OUTSTANDING CONTENT 🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 DAVE RAMSEY YOU ROCK!
Shaq is a true motivation. And the title of this video was absolutely brilliant. I almost didn't click but said myself let's see where they going with this. Keep up the great work.
Yeah John says to Dave "Can you imagine being able to do that?" Dave's sitting there and has the class not to say "Yes" . Dave does a lot of charity stuff too it's just not public
I liked the content here. Shaquille is amazingly generous and I appreciate you saying so in the content. I don’t like the way the title infers Shaq is a fake though. I know you have to bring in “click bait” but would appreciate it more if you didn’t do it by defaming the person you tout as generous. Some people only read titles and make judgements and spread disinformation based on that. I know that’s on them but because you initiated it, you are somewhat responsible. You should changed the title.
There’s so many times you Shaq quietly doing stuff like this for people without advertising it or fanfare of any kind. And it’s all the time. The dude is just a great guy clearly. How awesome it would be to be able to do that for people. Honestly seems like the coolest thing if you had that level of wealth to just do something like that because you can. I hope I can get to a spot where I can bless people in my salary range now I can. The best way to spend money
This is one of the best reasons to become wealthy. How much fun would it be to go around dropping money on random strangers. Brighten someone's day with no expectation of any sort of reciprocation. That would be a gas.
Even if he spent $250k, that's equivalent to a millionaire handing out $625! I'm definitely not saying he should have paid more, I'm just saying look how much good you can do when you reach Shaq-level
Shaq is a man who loves to make people happy and to be a blessing to others. My respect for him as a man has grown more and more I think he’s a phenomenal person, incredibly smart and I love that he has a huge heart for so many people. I would be an honor to meet him one day and I hope that God speaks to his heart with all the trauma and loss he’s experienced in his life with family and friends who passed away. That man loves deeply and I hope he’s restored by Jesus because his integrity and generosity are inspiring. He is a humble man and you’re right, he does not do this for reward or adoration, he simply does it because that’s the man he is. God bless you Shaq and all the others who use their gifts or money or talents as a way to speak life and hope into people’s lives. That’s how I want to and try to live with what little giftings I may have, I want to bless others with my life, otherwise I don’t know what else to do and it’s time to be with Jesus. He has us all here on earth for His purposes though I think most people want to feel like they’re doing something purposeful in life and anyone who encourages or helps someone in that is walking in line I believe with the spirit of love
Yeah Shaq is an evil rich type of guy, because he exposes the disgusting hipocrisy and envy of corrupt politicians who wants everyone to hate successful people except them. As for me blessing to Mr. Shaq I wish him more riches.
He was the one that went to play hoops with a bunch of kids the neighbors called the cops on. I think the cops joined the game too, if I remember correctly. We need more men like him in the world
I heard where Elvis Presley told his dad he wanted a pick up truck. His dad replied Elvis you do not need a pick up truck. Elvis went out and bought 100 Ford truck and gave them to poor farmers. 😂

Also heard a story of him buying his son a Rolex…so there’s that side of it too. His kids will be fine, they know that, he knows that, it’s just part of the game.
Shaq often goes to my local BestBuy and just helps people out and buys them anything they want! It’s incredible. He’s such a nice, humble guy.
Exactly ! He lives in McDonough Ga. He there all the time!
Does he take requests by email? I don't feel like traveling.
❤
I met Shaq once when I lived in Orlando. Very nice guy.
He blesses other people and don’t brag about it, so humble. God bless Shaq and his family with longevity and great health!!!💕💕

God bless Shaq, too bad his god is the devil. And Ramsey wants us to admire him. Satan gives plenty of people riches and money and charity.
"you're bitching about rich people on your iphone"
This is the first time I've heard Dave Ramsey swear!
Yeah it was shocking... and he did it twice. Def caught me off guard!!!
As a man I look up to once said, "I have never met a grumpy giver, nor a cheerful tightwad!"

Thank you for sharing this.
After only seeing endless bad news and backstabbing on the internet, it was nice to see this uplifting story.
The fact that Shaq has made more after basketball than when he played…that says a lot about how he managed his money.
I have respect for people who commit selfless acts, and don't film themselves doing it.

That person reminds me of the widow in the bible who Jesus said she gave more than the others because she gave everything. I love hearing about generosity regardless of wealth being a factor so please keep these coming and I'll keep sharing because I'm tired of people raggin on rich people and saying they're all bad and greedy the same as I'm tired of assuming that all poor people are lazy and don't manage their money.
When in doubt. Be generous
i never heard dave say “bitching” before!! 😂
Same! Wonder if that was a slip 😂
I’ve been on set with him… multiple times. Nicest guy I’ve ever met. 😤🥺
I bet Charles Barkley would disagree.
I saw the title and was immediately ready to fight for Shaq before even clicking on the video.... Well played Ramsey team, well played...
Big man with a big heart. He is certainly setting the bar high for all his fellow athletes.
Shaq says that any time he goes into a store he ALWAYS buys someone else something.
Shaq is a great guy, and a wonderful human. He’s been known for his graciousness for years. Thank you, Shaq! 👏🏻👏🏻
I saw a video of him saying he just has too much and can’t keep it to himself. He gives so much and not for the attention. Love Shaq!
Dang Itttt ... The Click Bait 🪤 Got Me!!!
"Can you imagine being able to do something like this"? Dave = $100M net worth 🤣
Shaq is amazing for sure.
Shaq is a beautiful human being.
When John said: Can you imagine being able to do this for somebody ✋️
Dudes, you can do this in the dollar store! And we all should be doing it more often🙏
What an amazing human being we should all aspire to be!
Oh my goodness, I was not ready to cry this morning
😭❤️
Would be nice if Dave would actually expose bad rich people
Right? Let’s see Dave do a story on the Sackler family, who made billions while driving our country into an opioid epidemic.
@@1modestmoon agreed, thank you
In my opinion bad rich people do more harm to the general public than good rich people could ever counteract on an individual level.
Right. Shaq is great therefore all millionaires are great…
@@carloslaguna7036 Dave never said all millionaires are great. But he also doesn't believe in the diatribe that the financial equality people spout either though.
When I read the title I said “ what!? Shaw!?” After watching I said “ Yep, that’s Shaq that I hear of!” Gotta love him
Good video for a Friday! Need more Shaq!
Anytime Shaq is in a commercial, I gladly watch it! Other commercials are just a nuisance.
Dave, love your sense of humor 😂
SHAQ you are changing lives 🙌♥️
Liked how you “exposed” Shaq’s generosity with a tad of irony to hook us and reel us in!!!
Way to go Shaq❣️love hearing these stories!! Plus, Shaq was hilarious in the Grown Up movies. 🤣
Shaq is one of the absolute best men ever. Ive seen countless videos of his generosity in action. There was a young man, who couldn't find shoes big enough to wear to his high school prom if I remember correctly. Anyways, Shaq heard about it, contacted him and told him where to go. He met the guy and his family there and bought him several pair of shoes, clothes, etc. He spent thousands on this young man. Another instance he saw a homeless man sitting at a table in McDonald's and he asked the guy if he was hungry and what he liked on the menu and bought the man a sack full of food to take with him. That kinda stuff makes is what we should see on tv. Not the BS that's on now. What a blessing Shaq is to the world.
Shaq is a very generous man. Please promote liver donation so people can live longer and be there for their children.
Shaq always doing good for others. Never forgot where he came from.
EXCELLENT JOB TO THE PRODUCER JAMES! WE NEED MORE AND MORE OF THIS TO GIVE HOPE TO THE WORLD! GOD BLESS YOU ALL
THANK YOU FOR THE OUTSTANDING CONTENT 🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
DAVE RAMSEY YOU ROCK!
Shaq is like the neighbor next door, awesome personality! God Bless him.
I love Shaq! He’s a GOOD HUMAN BEING.
I love these episodes. They exposed everything about the person. Generosity is awesome!
I love Shaq and all that he does. Such a class act.
Shaq is a true motivation. And the title of this video was absolutely brilliant. I almost didn't click but said myself let's see where they going with this. Keep up the great work.
Pure form of clickbait ever 😂🤣
John keeps says "I wish" and Dave is like "I can"
Yeah John says to Dave "Can you imagine being able to do that?" Dave's sitting there and has the class not to say "Yes" . Dave does a lot of charity stuff too it's just not public
I liked the content here. Shaquille is amazingly generous and I appreciate you saying so in the content. I don’t like the way the title infers Shaq is a fake though. I know you have to bring in “click bait” but would appreciate it more if you didn’t do it by defaming the person you tout as generous. Some people only read titles and make judgements and spread disinformation based on that. I know that’s on them but because you initiated it, you are somewhat responsible. You should changed the title.
There’s so many times you Shaq quietly doing stuff like this for people without advertising it or fanfare of any kind. And it’s all the time. The dude is just a great guy clearly. How awesome it would be to be able to do that for people. Honestly seems like the coolest thing if you had that level of wealth to just do something like that because you can. I hope I can get to a spot where I can bless people in my salary range now I can. The best way to spend money
Shaq does this type of stuff everyday
This is one of the best reasons to become wealthy. How much fun would it be to go around dropping money on random strangers. Brighten someone's day with no expectation of any sort of reciprocation. That would be a gas.
Ramsey upping his clickbait game 😂
Shaq is always doing good deeds for strangers. He is such an awesome human!
Even if he spent $250k, that's equivalent to a millionaire handing out $625! I'm definitely not saying he should have paid more, I'm just saying look how much good you can do when you reach Shaq-level
I wonder 💭 how much Dave Ramsey is worth?
Shaq does have a great heart. Dude had his shoes at Payless one time so people could afford them v.s paying 180 plus for some jordans
I came in ready to defend Shaq because I knew the title couldn’t be true!!! Good clickbait 😂..
They did another one like this on Dolly Pardon. If you enjoyed this, you should give it a watch.
That shack for you he helps others.
I saw a video on TH-cam where he bought a bunch of shoes for a kid large like him.
Shaq is a man who loves to make people happy and to be a blessing to others. My respect for him as a man has grown more and more I think he’s a phenomenal person, incredibly smart and I love that he has a huge heart for so many people. I would be an honor to meet him one day and I hope that God speaks to his heart with all the trauma and loss he’s experienced in his life with family and friends who passed away. That man loves deeply and I hope he’s restored by Jesus because his integrity and generosity are inspiring. He is a humble man and you’re right, he does not do this for reward or adoration, he simply does it because that’s the man he is. God bless you Shaq and all the others who use their gifts or money or talents as a way to speak life and hope into people’s lives. That’s how I want to and try to live with what little giftings I may have, I want to bless others with my life, otherwise I don’t know what else to do and it’s time to be with Jesus. He has us all here on earth for His purposes though I think most people want to feel like they’re doing something purposeful in life and anyone who encourages or helps someone in that is walking in line I believe with the spirit of love
for a moment I thought Dave went full MSMedia, but then it became wholesome again.
Yeah Shaq is an evil rich type of guy, because he exposes the disgusting hipocrisy and envy of corrupt politicians who wants everyone to hate successful people except them.
As for me blessing to Mr. Shaq I wish him more riches.
Always heard this about Shaq. Wonderful human being. Listen to his old teammate John Salley talk about him. Same great stories.
That click bate was insane!
He was the one that went to play hoops with a bunch of kids the neighbors called the cops on. I think the cops joined the game too, if I remember correctly. We need more men like him in the world
Shaq is an awesome human being!!
I heard where Elvis Presley told his dad he wanted a pick up truck. His dad replied Elvis you do not need a pick up truck. Elvis went out and bought 100 Ford truck and gave them to poor farmers. 😂
Shaq is a 🐐
Did Dave say "Bitching about rich people.." ??? 4:22 😂😮😂
Missed opportunity. Dave could’ve said he didn’t know SHAQ had a KNACK for RAK(random acts of kindness)
I’ll see myself out.
