Despite Michael Jordan’s Refusal to Hand Free Air Jordans to Kids, Millionaire Shaquille O’Neal Goes Against Idol’s Methods to Give Free Dollar Bills to Youth

Big Man with a big heart is an appropriate way to describe Shaquille O’Neal. The basketball legend has time and again shown just how much he cares for people. Despite having a busy schedule, even after his retirement, Shaq is one to always show up when it is about the well-being of people. Shaq recently did something for the community which goes against his idol’s methods.

The great Michael Jordan once famously refused to give free shoes to kids. The famous Air Jordans are much more than just a pair of shoes. They represent the legacy of MJ. For that reason, it is a dream of every kid to own a pair. However, His Airness doesn’t believe in things just being handed out. Shaq, on the other hand, is the polar opposite. In fact, he recently handed out cash to the winners of an interesting challenge.

Shaquille O’Neal is a man of the people

The legacy of Shaq is set in stone. With his 4 NBA championships, MVP awards, and hundreds of millions of dollars in net worth, the Big Man has achieved everything in life. From the very beginning, his focus was always on giving back to people. Recently, the Big Man was in Henry County, fulfilling his duties as a bona fide humanitarian. He showed up at the Sheriff’s office for an event and made sure that the families go back with a smile on their faces, especially the kids. The two big events were organized to help the families as well as to strengthen the relationship with the youth.

Shaq has stated on several occasions that it pains him to see the youth of the country on the wrong path. The Big Aristotle doesn’t just speak these things, rather he leads the world with examples. To set yet another example in the right direction, Shaq had plenty of things to give away to the families of Henry County, including an all-paid shopping spree. He even organized an impromptu free throw competition, and the winner was awarded $100 bills. Hoop fans know Shaq’s unfortunate relationship with free throws and yet he managed to create something beautiful out of it for the community.

Kids were most impressed by his presence there and they had their reactions on camera.
