Not someone you see on tv or who gave a 45 min speech about their own success in sports. There is role models and heroes all around us.

I can’t get enough of listening to a man like Shaq. He’s a man. A grown man that ACTS JUST LIKE GOD HAD INTENDED. Honest. Giving. Loving. Understanding. Decent. And can SLAM THE SHIT OUTTA THE GLASS!!!!!!
