Visibly in Pain, 9-Year-Old Girl’s Divisive Training Video With Father Seemingly Endorsed by Deion Sanders Fan Shaquille O’Neal

It’s not easy to get drafted into the uppermost echelon of basketball. Very few get as far as dominating the NBA. Shaquille O’Neal is among the select few. He knows what it takes to be great. Having dominated the paint for decades in the NBA and won 4 Championships, Big Diesel faced a lot of adversity before achieving greatness. Recently, he was seen endorsing a clip online in which a nine-year-old girl was put through a rather harsh training regime.

Shaq was known to have a fierce personality whenever he stepped onto the hardwood. Perhaps his view on what it takes is different from most. He was once again seen sharing a clip on social media which many might find harsh.
