From his humble beginnings as an army brat, Shaq paved his way towards the NBA with grit and hard work. He became the legend that he idolized watching NBA stars while growing up. Being the most dominant center of all time Shaq has had tremendous success in his life but he never has let it go to his head. His loving family was always there to support him and teach him valuable life lessons that he carried with him all through his career and life.
While he has made a great deal of money in his career, he has also spent lots of it supporting people all over the USA. This is my favorite side of Shaq. The human side. As big as he is, his heart is even bigger. He regularly helps out those in need and has his own foundation set up to help kids who do not have the same opportunities as others. He has paid for people's bills and purchased items for people he doesn't even know, just because he cares. He is a quality person. He is also hilarious in interviews and on Inside the NBA. If there were more people like Shaq, the world would be a better place.
