one thing i love about shaq, he makes it clear just how much he relied on other people throughout his life, just how much he is the product of the people around him, none of this "self made man" bullshit that everyone who makes it big tries to play off as fact
Except when he's dogging on Chuck about having 4 rings, in that case he acts as if he scored all the points and even forged the damn things himself hahaha. But fr tho I do think it's obvious he's self aware, and he also actually is kind of a self made businessman in many ways so he does have room to talk.
“Makes it big” What does this even mean? You’re alive and breathing. I’m guessing you don’t have any illness or so your most likely healthy. You’ve already made it big my friend!
There is no self made man. There is the ones that recognize they have been helped. And the ones that have taken advantage of others without thinking about anything but themselve.
@@Redenialabsolutely true and we all have to acknowledge that in order to move on. No one can go places without a network. It doesnt have to be big. It can be small and strong. Maybe just family members but to deny the existence is stupid
I’ve always liked Shaquille O’Neill , I’m from the UK so not into Basketball so I’ve only really seen him since he retired on podcasts or chat shows and the like but he’s a cool and caring Man . Kudos Shaquille O’Neill don’t ever change.
Fake ass story so he sounds normal. If dude tutored him enough to pass his class why doesn't he remember his name besides the name bullies gave him plus calls him a geek
amazing that the instructions for life are that simple, and less and less people live by the code. chivalry and honor values should be taught to everyone. value of friendshit brotherhood, sisterhood, community, respect, love and duty.
He’s like a big soft teddy bear that makes everyone feel safe and secure. We’re blessed to have him setting examples and showing his kindness. His mama did a good job raising him.
I was the little guy in high school. I had a rough time. 2nd year I had a football player come to help me. I'm looking forward to our 50th year reunion to thank him again for helping me out. God Bless you Shaq 🙏.
What he said is so powerful. Many people just don't even try because they don't believe in themselves. It's a massive problem. I've seen it so much, I really feel like we need to have people in schools whose job it is to just show people what they're really capable of.
Great idea.... pass it forward. I could have been a better student & athlete just need a push & a person to encourage me. Yet, I've done well in life. Bless you.
Every time I think that I couldn’t love this man anymore than I already do….he surprises me with another amazing and heartfelt story…..and I love him more lol. He is just so damn kind and funny!
As a small geek in high school, having a big buddy that defends you from bullying is pretty amazing, makes you want to help them and you never forget them!
I wasn’t big but I made up for it in being scary I remember breaking some kids nose because he called a gay guy the f word. That kid was forever grateful to me
I got picked on a lot as a freshmen. A senior i barely knew took up for me one day and it never happened again after that week. He had no reason to do it but he was a big strong guy who had a lot of friends and orher students listened. I really appreciated it
@@cts1549 I understand the guy. Never could stand seeing the smaller kids get bullied. Always had to intervene, its like an impulse. I was never the biggest guy, but when sht goes down I'm a honey badger 😅
There is so much truth to this story!! I have seen and been part of showing kindness! Some bonds are made by givin a hand up vs a slap down! Not everyone is blessed with perfection!
My son, a straight A student in AP classes, came home one day in 6th grade and declared, " Dad, I'm a nerd", proudly. I thanked God. He is a good boy, handsome and confident . His self awareness is impressive. We talked about famous " Nerds " , etc. He is tall and fierce. He will not be bullied. He watches his friends back. A good boy. 😊
It’s too bad he wasn’t on Shaq’s life though… might have saved him again by telling him to not mess around and drive his wife and kids away. Sorry I just found out recently he regrets things he did… cause he now lives in a big empty mansion 😢… it’s why I mention this. Not that we know whether he’d have taken his friend’s advice or not.
@@qthirteen13 What? That's really sad. Perhaps he didn't do the driving away though... She made choices as well and I'll bet you anything she turned the kids against him.
He may not be mega smart, and people sometimes poke fun at Shaq for that - but he is a genuinely good, honest, honorable person. And that is more important than anything else.
The world is full of smart people who will never amount to anything. Plenty of average or below average intellectual people have accomplished great things. There is more to life than being smart. Being well adjusted, having a good work ethic, working well with others, skills like that can take you far.
@@grantprice121 Yeah, work ethic and confidence are like 90% of success. There are plenty of dumb people who graduate college because they did the work.
High school years can be so hard. I was the new kid three times and was very much a nerd, oh yeah, with glasses and acne. Four strikes. I would have been so thankful to have had a Shaquille back then. That experience, though, helped me become a stronger and more compassionate person. Shaq is an incredibly kind and giving man. I'd like to think that that nerd, McDougall, had a small part in that.
Shaq was raised properly by his momma, so he helped the guy he didn't really know and had nothing to gain from because he was taught to do what is right and to speak the truth.
Have so much respect for this man.cos he really knows what it's like to struggle in your early days but he has never forgot the ones that helped him . One love and much respect . Xx
No one is perfect, Shaq is petty and has thin skin but those are just his flaws. He’s also funny, determined, generous, fundamentally kind. He’s fundamentally a good person.
@@JackThePsychoManiac he definitely has his flaws. He was an absolute bully on the court and sometimes a bully off the court, he admitted to punching 5 different players on different teams. For me, I don't really care about the basketball stuff, I'll never forget when he made fun of the dude with a genetic disorder and took 3 days to apologize and only after backlash. He's done a lot of good in his life and I don't think that should be ignored, but I don't think that means he shouldn't be held accountable when he does bad either.
@@gen_x_dad are you aware of how long ago Shaq was in High School? I can't even remember my best friend's last name from High School and I'm younger than he is! Also, consider the fact that everyone called him "McDougal". Hard to remember a name that you rarely, if ever, heard that long ago.
@@thatcrazytransgirl2100 I am. I'm just a few years older than Shaq. You truly don't remember your best friend's name in highschool? That's a little sad...
@@gen_x_dad I know her name. Yvonne. I just don't recall her last name because we never used it. That was the point I was making in Shaq's case as well.
Actually praying does a whole lot. I have seen my prayers produce so many miracles.... From my daughter breaking her leg (with x-rays to prove she had a broken leg) to her leg being healed before they could put a cast on it. The doctor x-rayed her leg 8 times after it was miraculously healed to make sure she didn't need a cast. G-d is good. Sorry you don't know Him.
You know, I hear a lot of people insult Shaq based upon his supposed intelligence, but from everything I’ve ever heard he seems like a genuinely nice caring individual. He’s smart with his money, philanthropic, and cares about people.
It’s great to acknowledge others and specifically when they do something for us as an individual Nerds and geeks are self conscious people. Because they spend so much time with their thoughts 💭 they tend to listen to their higher self; the inner voice as well as with like minded people
Shaquille ..allways tells a good story, giving praise to someone else who helped him or who he admires. He himself is a good example of using your brain and use it well..to be smart!! And all that next to his good, kind heart for everyone around him. What an inspiration he is, for the young.
As someone who attended public school, private school, and then homeschool... I can tell you it's *shocking* how many university students have NO IDEA how to effectively study or take notes. I helped tutor a few people who were failing hard and I had all but one of them to finish 2 letter grades higher. The 1 guy was someone who calculated what he needed to get his C if he scored a 0 on the final and then just never went to class again lol. He was smart but that guy fucking *hated* to study and his whole life revolved around shaving time off of everything. Seriously, a little conversation and smart techniques and an atmosphere conducive to quiet study... In most cases that's all it takes.
I wish that they could meet now. Surely “McDougal” knows who Shaq is, but it would be good to hear how McDougal’s life turned out. Maybe he’s a teacher?
Shaq is such a nice man, he's stories are always good to listen too. I love how he talks about people that helped in some way. Nerds and geeks seem to be belliteled alot, then someone like Shaq remembers the help he got from them.
The irony of him referring to these people as “nerds and geeks” while trying to show them in a more positive light is the most unintentional meme of the year truly
Irony? He knows the different between nerds and geeks and identified his friend as a geek. It's 2024, being smart and passionate are not shameful anymore.
I wish people would several different types of intelligence. Shaq's good heart lead him to defend the underdog. Self-doubt is really a hard hurdle to get over.
I used to do tutoring professionally, and it's really heartbreaking how many very competent people give up because they were taught wrong or told they were dumb and thought they weren't the Smart Sort of Person. I had this one girl who'd been told her whole life girls were bad at math, and she was very clearly autistic and struggled with how teachers were communicating concepts. The instant she understood the basics and realized she wasn't inherently Bad At Math everything started clicking. Probably eight hours total with her and she went from straight Fs to straight As, and I can barely take any credit. Absolute genius, just never realized it. The way we're taught and our inner picture of ourselves make all the difference in the world.
That is why I respect three professional basketball players as men: Shaquille o'neal, Charles barkley, and Larry bird. Because they do not allow their greatness to determine who they are as people. All three are humble, intelligent, and caring, and have no problem telling you the truth in regardless of your feelings
Nice. Two people, one lacking confidence physically, the other academically, helping each other out. But I don't think that Shaq forgot the kids name. He would be more upset at himself that he forgot the kids name. Or maybe he knows the guy wouldn't want any attention. Something tells me this is a fable. A good fable nonetheless.
For a Super Rich Athlete come up from playing Ball in the Neighborhood Shaq has a Deep Knowledge and Understanding of Both Side's of the Track's and is Very Respected in Every Neighborhood. KEEP BEING YOU SHAQ UR THE GOAT

Not mundane REAL
The truth!
Yeah… entitlement & selfishness “made” him.
I wish Shaq was my dad.
He does, and it's beautiful! He makes sure that others shine in his stories, and it just makes me love and respect him even more 😍🥰🖤🖤

Love the way Shaq speaks, sounds honest and truthful.
It's the guy behind him playing the Piano that accentuates that.

Kudos Shaquille O’Neill don’t ever change.
Sounds like you saved each other
That's the truth.
He is a kind man.
Mutual helping 💓
they did.....made both lives better
Fake ass story so he sounds normal. If dude tutored him enough to pass his class why doesn't he remember his name besides the name bullies gave him plus calls him a geek
Calls him a geek then doesn't know his name. Shaq you're trash for this fake ass story
He wasn’t a geek. He was just a kid trying to make his way and very kind. Find him!!!! He probably has done something wonderful
With his life.
Shaq always gives credit where credit is due. Without hesitation or ego. He's a good person.
In contrast to Kobe, RIP anyway.l
A REAL MAN will always stand up for someone being bullied.
This is one reason why we all love Shaq!
Strength, power should always be used to protect the weak.
Only once he needed him though, if I heard the story right?
There’s another story where he bullied someone and his step dad intervened. It’s quite good if you search here.
Only helped him when he wanted something from him 🤦♂️
@@zachall101 you smoking something breh? he helped the guy, the guy then offered his help back.
He showed generosity first and the guy he helped was smart and generous enough to find a way to give back.
A quote from the person who got tutored: “What are you gonna do? Tutor me?”
amazing that the instructions for life are that simple, and less and less people live by the code. chivalry and honor values should be taught to everyone. value of friendshit brotherhood, sisterhood, community, respect, love and duty.
Shaq is one of the coolest dudes. Really love his honesty here. And I love that he is honest about getting help.

He doesn’t remember your name
I Wish you be truthful
Not only does shaq have a big body, he has a huge heart and brain and spirit that anyone would be glad t have a fraction of.
What he said is so powerful. Many people just don't even try because they don't believe in themselves. It's a massive problem. I've seen it so much, I really feel like we need to have people in schools whose job it is to just show people what they're really capable of.
the purpose of schools is to churn out docile working force that will accept 40 hour work weeks for stagnant wages
gov don't want that
Great idea.... pass it forward. I could have been a better student & athlete just need a push & a person to encourage me. Yet, I've done well in life. Bless you.

So true. We learn our lessons too late sometimes. I love to listen to this young man. He is not afraid to tell it like it is or was.❤❤❤❤❤
I love that description.
Shaq was raised properly by his momma, so he helped the guy he didn't really know and had nothing to gain from because he was taught to do what is right and to speak the truth.

Nothing to gain? He had to pass his test lol
Shaq has always been one of my favorite people in the public eye. I love his stories.

So true.
Shaq is a nice guy. Honest and sincere. Always liked him.
Nerds and Geeks are some cool ppl 😂 gotta love him
We all have weaknesses, some can be seen on the outside, most are on the inside. Really great of Shaq telling this story.
Doesn't sound like a geek to me, sounds more like a hero!

Did the same thing dr. O'Neil they picked out a nerd and I took care of it for him to come under my wing
Basically when an 8 foot tall guy tells you to leave another guy alone, you leave that guy alone, lol.
Once again great story For Shaq to look out for him, some people need that
Shaq is the best humanitarian he is so humble great guy I love his interviews
Love your stories Shaq, big heart is your greatest attribute ❤❤❤

How can anyone not absolutely love him... and geeks and nerds.... as it were.
The way he confidently says “nerds and geeks are cool people” 🤣🤣 He’s putting them down while talking them up 😂😂
