This all started with an upset neighbor who called the cops on some kids playing basketball in the street. Of course the cops saw nothing wrong and played a game against the kids. These cops rock.
Just imagine if everyone was this good, this humble and this giving of themselves…how wonderful life would be! Shout out to Shaq’s mama for being such a great mom! ❤️
It doesn't surprise me that Shaq would do something like this. He has been a supporter of youths for his whole career. He talks to these guys like anyone else he talks to. Showing them the respect he wants them to show themselves. Thank you Shaquille for being such a great person and role-model for all our youth in our world.
Major respect to the big guy! He does things like this on a daily basis and not for the media attention but out the goodness of his massive heart. A true legend and an inspiration.
What a beautiful heart Shaq has! What an incredible role model he is for others! A day these young boys will never forget! Much love from Toronto, Canada. ❤️
The really story is, the day before woman/neighbor called GPD to complain about kids playing basketball in the street. PO Bobby White took the call. When he arrived he spoke to the women that called it in and told her he was not going to do anything about kids playing . He approached the kids and told them he's there answering a call about them playing basketball. He then challenge the kids to a game. He told them he will be back with backup. Shaq heard the story and as he always does, he stepped up!
Yeah I believe it was an episode of cops The cop was like they can either play basketball or they can be over here busting your windows out after dark. Which one do you want?
Made me cry. Those little boys....so cute, so happy. What a phenomenal memory made for each one. Every little boy was given such a huge boost to his self-esteem and hope for the future! I want that for them and all the little boys who are so at risk in America.
@KB he was at the urinal once with me I tried to sneak a peek... everything was going fine until he shook the piss off it and I got hit with a tsunami of piss and elephant trunk and lost my eyesight.
Man I love Shaq. Never met him but how can you not like the guy. Just out there doing his best all the time and making a difference whenever he can. Quality. So glad those officers took a little time to show some positive interaction with those kids. That will be something they won’t forget and we can all improve on.
its yeshua not jesus so get over it Nah man shaq is a hell of a baller. Not a good jump shooter but a hell of a baller. You're partly correct size does matter but you gotta realize a man that size is not supposed to be as athletic as him. He should have been slow and tired all the time... He wasn't lol. He was a man among boys, a freak of nature
I have so much respect for Shaq... To even take the time for this moment, is an honor... He didnt just make their day, he made everyone smile watching this!
Shaq is an inspiration for so many, and a genuinely nice guy. He did the same (turned up at my kid’s school while they were playing basketball in PE class). That school is in Hong Kong. Wherever, whenever, he will do whatever to help.
I didn't think Shaq was all that playing in the NBA, he was just too big for others to stop. I hate the way he speaks especially for being on TV it's difficult to understand him at times BUT I have to say he really has a heart of gold!! I've never seen other NBA players just out of the blue go off and do something like this for young people. He's truly a class act!
This guy big guy is epitome of a great person,,, these kids will remember this for life! What a generous human, giving back to the community, and never forgetting his roots,,
A couple hours out of his day to make these kids' day. He is what we should all strive to be, a good man. Been watching him since he was a rookie, he just keeps keeping on. Thanks Shaq.
And while Shaq is great and has such a generous heart, can we acknowledge the officer...he just looks so happy for these kids. Wholeheartedly happy. It takes someone with love to elevate a situation and inspire others. Bravo for him. I'm elevated just by having watched this.
I just adore Shaq. He is the real deal...so smart, talented, kind and his sense of humor is awesome. Those words made me tear up. His family raised him right. Young people need him today. All races, kids and adults need to appreciate him. God bless Shaq. Stay safe and well out there.👍💖
@Daedalus You have clearly missed the point of the whole video. Yes, $800 and an hour or so to Shaq is nothing. But what did that $800 and that hour mean to those kids? How much do you think the lessons Shaq was trying to teach these kids meant to their parents? That’s the stuff that matters.
Shaq is truly one of the greatest men and has the greatest heart ever. Such a true leader and so respectful and demands respect and expects everyone to respect and love and care for their parents. I absolutely love seeing these stories about Shaq. Just goes to show color has nothing to do with it. He is just a good hearted soul that loves to help anyone he can that's in need. I wish so much everyone one could be just like Shaq Very generous man
IF EVER THERE WAS SOMEONE IN THE WORLD THAT PEOPLE COULD LEARN ALLOT FROM IT'S SHAQ!!!!!! HE IS SUCH AN AMAZING HUMAN!!!! IF ONLY THERE WERE MORE PEOPLE LIKE HIM!!! Hopefully his words impacted these young boy's and made a difference for them. Like he said... YOU CAN BE AND DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO, IT'S ALL UP TO YOU!!! STAY STRONG AND BE YOUR BEST SELF, IT CAN AND WILL PAY OFF IN THE LONG RUN!!!!
First time I saw Shaq I said he was a teddy bear. I care diddly for sports. But I love to watch Shaq, and I love that he does stuff like this because he cares AND because it makes him happy. Never will forget Barkley's face when Shaq smashed that backboard. Priceless!
Big Poppa Pump You should see the house he has in Kissime Florida. It's in the Orlando area. He doesn't live that far from my uncle who is a successful orthodontist.
Shaq is so nice to unite the police and the Community that he knows so well. Thanks Shaq for taking your time to spend a few hours to give everyone a day to remember. Well done, what a great way to give back.
Shaq is so cool....these kids will never forget this day. Hope this helps open their mind for change and education and hopefully they can grow up and be great men.
This is so awesome. The relationship these cops have with the kids in this community I'm sure is having a very positive impact in these kids. This is how you build a country with people that care. We're blessed to have great cops in our community as well. Familiar faces we've seen for a long time keeping us safe.
Shaq is an amazing guy good hearted man always spreading positive thoughts he left a message with those young children they will not soon forget and thanks for the 👮♀️ officers who Dedicate to serve and protect I’m sure that was a treat for them to Jacky from Montreal
afther all these years it hurts me to see that not more and more rich famous people are starting to get involving and changing the world like this, shaqs actions are bigger than himself , much respect and love
El gran Shaquille O'neil!! Que buen gesto hacia todos ahi. Eso motiva a los chicos a querer ser mejores y hacerse un buen futuro y veo que además acerca a los vecinos y autoridades!!
Now this the type of Police I grew up around actually part of the community!!!!! God bless each and everyone of those Officers!!!! That is Real Police!!!!!
You and me both brother ,when the police took the time to learn your name even if you weren't a bad kid or getting in trouble and if you were they tried to help not just keep you down..that's why I grew up to be a cop ..so I could pass that on and help others..we may not be able to save the world but we might save some that we touch! GOD BLESS YOU!
I honestly couldn't care less that he played basketball (and played it well). I love Shaq for the amazing human being he is. I wish more people were like him.
Everyone misses the whole idea of it all. A Guy retires from playing professional Basketball and really wants to reach out to the youth of america in ways that none before him have. The Press will NEVER cover it because they will always want to see minority children without positive role models and forever forsaken in lower class america with no hope. Shaquille O'Neal is a Gentleman and a True Man everyone should look up to. He is such a nice guy in person to meet on the street as a regular guy as well. He never forgot where he came from.
The original video was about those officers being called for the children playing, apparently they were playing "too loud". The cop in the beginning was called each time and end up playing ball with them until it was time for them to go home. Shaq saw it on Twitter and reached out to the department. And this is how the video was broadcasted. I get teary eyed each time
He is the kindest man, I have ever seen!!!! His Mom and Dad taught him well!!!! Respect your elders, listen to your Mother, do good in school!!!!! He is a big man to do such kind thing's, for other people!!! 💯💯💯❤️❤️........ Respect!!!!
The "Big Bear" Shaq is a serious community ambassador and "family man" to all kids....especially those from poor and minority communities...! He understands where they are because of where he came from; as he indicated to them during the group hug...!
