I think if Shaq did not have money, he worked as a truck driver or any thing he would still show compassion to people. I believe it is not money that makes him generous but his heart.

Graham is an amazing interviewer, he starts off the story and passes it off to his guest and sits back and listens without interrupting.... clearly one of the best!!!!
my Shaq story, I work for NBC here in Houston, and we had the All-star game one year. Back stage at the shark bar, everyone wanted a pic with Shaq, SO i'm holding everyone's phone taking their pics, and when they were done everyone scattered, I'm like damn I wanted a pics too, then Shaq said hold on, let me take a pic with my man first. so of course everyone was rushing to get my phone so they can take the pic, Classy guy

While we're on the subject, why don't you go and bring some carrots and boiled broccoli to an AIDS children's ward next time since you're so @#$%^&* smart. And when the child is on their last legs, try stuffing the broccoli into their mouth and talk about government and deep state and all those other things. MORON!
This is why you he isnt hated and broke. One of the good ones.

"That's my thing, I just wanna make you smile" powerful words from a truly humble feller. Man deserves anything an everything good that comes his way. Proper respect
Incredibly rich, but also incredibly generous. He's a real legend, an ICON.
I admire this guy so much that he makes me cry, seriously. I wish that one day I can do the same. Making people happy, especially the one you don't know for me is just priceless.
I Love that. “All I wanna do is make you smile.” That’s deep.
His parents definitely taught him great morals and values. This is why I've always admired Shaq!

Shaq is not only a sports figure, he has transcended basketball or television. His generosity had helped countless lives. He is making God smile.
Graham, your interviews are incredible... I love your questions and how you listen and let the interviewees just talk.
Many years ago, I was at a store. The only people in that store was me and a father with his 7ish yeah old son. Shaq walked in and the child immediately recognized him. Shaq noticed the dreamy look on the child’s face. So, he walked over to the child, messed up his hair (lol) and kneeled down to have a conversation with the kid. No one was around, he didn’t have to do that, but he’s shaq. He’s an incredible person.
We need more ppl like Shaq in this world. He is man with a beautiful heart. Kudos to his parents for teaching him good things.
Much respect to shaq man
Kudos to shaq's mom & dad for raising such a honorable man. I enjoyed watching shaq durning his years playing bb. I'm so happy that you reach out to help other's in a world of uncertainty. Continue to have a kind heart and humanity will always smile with you. Best wishes to you and yours 🤗🙏
A big man with a big heart. Beautiful person. Keep making them smile Shaq. The world needs more people like you.
Shaq you bastard you actually made me cry like a child. I wish more people had a heart as big as yours.
What a great guy. Genuine and humble he is a good example.
Love u even more now brother.. world needs more of u..
Love Shaw, he’s humble, generous, kind, and always thinks of others. May God bless him and keep him safe.
Shaq has a big heart. He makes a huge impact in the world. At times it is his sense of humor that could put a smile on anyone’s face. Then there are other moments his generous spirit makes a big difference for those who he happens to meet by chance. Time to honor his Mom/Dad for doing an excellent job. Well done.
Love Shaq, he’s an amazing man and a great example to everyone!
You, sir, know how to conduct an interview! NEVER QUIT! Also, awesome of Shaq to show true humility and compassion
I've always had a great deal of respect and love for Shaq. I love how he has always strived to be the best he could be, and then I love how he spreads his abundance around to the less fortunate. Well done brother, well done!
I feel the true care in his voice, body, soul. I love his humble side, gentleness, he gives back, not just money but time, energy, attention... That can make a person that is down on their luck feel like a million bucks. RESPECT! As the world is buzzing by everyone people can feel overwhelmed, lost and sad but someone who stops, shows compassion, does not judge, criticize, or lecture but simply takes time to listen, engage and smile makes the world a better place one person at a time.
This dude real deal helped so many people and we don’t even support his shoes 🤦🏽♂️

He was so kind and truly generous to me. Same area Faith & Tim McGraw, Tom Arnold across his place. He's got a big kind heart. Thank you Shaq 👌
I am so glad his parents taught him right and he listened it comes from the heart
Met this man twice and truly is a regular person with a great heart and extremely generous .😉
From being on NBA GameTime, I never really like this arrogant, self-loving (in my eyes) guy... But these series are just eye-opening, thank you for sharing these so we can get a better perspective on one of the most dominant players the game has ever seen!

Imagine if everyone could just be kind like Shaq.
Their is no greater reflection on a person than how well their children turn out & the lessons u taught them. Shaq's step dad whom he just calls dad bc he was his dad in every sense of the word sounded like an amazing man. When I heard the story how his dad told him " this year I cant get u anything for christmas " bc he had to get for the younger siblings something to open on christmas & asked shaw to understand. Then his dad showed up with a ball signed by his idol dr. J was such a beautiful story. Grahm bensinger really does a great interview. He asks good questions & does not interrupt I see why he has gotten interviews with some of the best athletes & people.
I only found this from shaq, but the guy conducting the interview did a great job of running it, and asking the questions, may stick around for more interviews
This man is literally a Gentle Giant! Gotta love him
This man truly has love in his heart,God bless him.More rich celebrities should do the things he does.Love this guy!
Shaq is one of the most genuine people in the world. His giving is real and from the heart. That's the difference. Kudos big man. You're one of the GOAT'S my man. 💯
Could you imagine what good things could be accomplished in a lot of cities if every person who made it from poverty to riches would give back to the neighborhoods where they came from! We ABSOLUTELY wouldn't need the Government to give us anything! Because we could take care of our own! God bless you Shaq!

You might have given in secret, Shaq but God saw you and loved you for it. Those who give to others so men can see them and praise them already have their reward. They are exactly as you described.
