Well, a series of events that happened this week can help you understand Shaq’s generosity towards people, especially children. At the moment, the 7-foot giant is the talk on the internet for his interaction with a kid and his mom. Shaq straight out got disrespected by a youngster.

Looks like Shaq has a lot of “homies” in his gym. The $400 million man has been hitting the gym frequently ever since his hip surgery. Well, Shaq has already made good friends there. One of his fans from the gym, took the time to share her moment with him on Instagram. 

The fan wrote, “Like seriously, @shaq is THE SWEETEST!! So fun to always see him at the gym and he just makes us feel like we are homies.” However, the special moment was Shaq’s time with her kid. 

In a video shared by the mother, her kid threw a punch to which Shaq decided to fake pain, only to see a smile on his face. Moreover, the young boy rejected a photo with the Big Aristotle. Well, someone’s going to regret it soon after they grow up!

Shaq’s subtle flex towards Bobbi Althoff

Shaq’s podcast with famous YouTuber Bobbi Althoff hit the internet last week and has been the talk of the town ever since. Toward the end of the video, Shaq showed some love to Althoff and her kids, “Tell the kiddos Uncles Shaq said hello”.

Although Althoff revealed her kids don’t know who Shaq is, he added, “Can I send them a convertible jeep?… I’m serious… I can do it right now.”

However later, the $400 million champion revealed he is willing to send a small one for kids, and not an actual jeep. Yet, it’s safe to say Shaq might eventually send them an actual jeep. What’s your take on this story? Share it in the comments below.
