@My RUclips Comments Are Now Shadow Banned I knew Sgt. Harrison and the word stepdad don't apply when it comes to him and Shaquille. He loved and raised him to be the great man that he is.
i was at an international school in China with students from around the world, the most rude children were merely replicating their parents. its disappointing
True true.... Shaq father had the old Jamaican upbringing and those people were very strict and discipline and plus the father being a Sergeant gave Shaq all the discipline he needed.
I wish I could like your comment 1 MILLION Times!! I've worked with young people most of my adult life and I've found that indifferent, belligerent, OPPOTUNISTIC Parents consistently set their kids up for failure!
I knew a few guys in that position when I was in the Navy. I knew one guy who had a wife and five kids and was on food stamps. They really don't pay much in the military.
@@standupG1 he definitely has the best interviews in all of mainstream media. No doubt. He gets the guests comfortable, asks them neutral questions that they can interpret in multiple ways, he NEVER cuts off his guests, and he asks questions everyone wants to know
I love how he said 'the term stepfather I don't really use' . My Mom's husband made me who I am. My birth dad did not want to know. My father took my mom on with three kids and made me what I am today. Love you dad!
His dad planted a seed ......by giving him the ball and taking him to the game ....and introducing him to a coach .....thats what a good parent does .....you see the potential and you provide guidance and inspiration... .
Absolutely can be, I just pray for those kids that have that special step parent that they value and appreciate that individual as much as SHAQ did his pops. Sad when a step parents gets told your not my parent when they’re reprimanding the kid there raising.
It can go both ways, I've also seen step parents showing favoritism to children that are their own blood over their step-kids and in general being abusive to them as well.
the most dominant player in the NBA was told he was a bum, had doubts, had demons. If that's not inspirational, I don't know what is. Kudos to this great interviewer for bringing stories like these to light.
I don't know, the guy won the genetic lottery too, though. He was born so special that it's hard to relate to him. I mean For fucks sake, when will we ever see someone with shaqs size and athleticism ever again?
Jon BrittleBones Jones lol wilt didn’t play volleyball until he was 40 and is in the volleyball hall of fame, he played a scrimmage in the early 80s against current nba players and dominated so hard he was offered a contract to play for the 76s at age 50. Far from a bum, and far from a six man in any nba era
Amen brother I had two father's but was truly raised by my stepfather who I call dad proudly RIP to my old man he passed but the thing is I'm just like him and didn't have him in my life like I wanted but it's all good you have a great father Aesthetic Horton that would be God he'll never make a mistake on the love you need my brother he'll give you all the love you need as a Man I feel your comment and people don't know how blessed they are to have a mother and father
Unbelievable interview, I don't think you understand how few interviewers there really are out there, that actually let the interviewee do the talking. Great stuff Graham.
The biggest thing i take from this is how loyal Shaq is to the people who believe in him and help him. Everyone wants him, but he goes to LSU. Dude still buys shoes from the same guy that gave him a free pair when he was 18. Hall of fame player, hall of fame human.
That happened in wildfleckin, Germany. Sgt. Harrison ran the gym. I was stationed with SSG Harrison at camp bullis in ft. Sam Houston when Shaq went to Cole high School. We used to close the supply room early to get to Shaquille's games. I will never forget Sgt.Phillip Harrison he was a great NCO and a great man.
The most heartwarming thing I took from this is Shaqs mom took on 2 kids that werent her own, Shaqs dad took on shaq, they made the best of their environment and moved when they could, but what I respect most is Shaq, being young, setting his mind on something, going for it, his maturity and dedication at such a young age is compelling. How can you not love him?
You don't know the guy..and maybe you a great human being aswell. Stupid thing to say on your part. He was a top 10 all time player..he an all time top 10 human being aswell? Yes exactly..shut up you idiot.
We do not hear enough about the sacrifice and love of a step-parent. Shaq, you are a fun loving man and people adore you for that. This interview made me respect you as a complete healthy man. Your respect and reverence for you (step) Father, that you show speaks volumes. Thank you for being so transparent with your life. God Bless
Mr. Densinger, I have to admit that I'm impressed on the way you handled your interview with Shaq. You didn't get in the way. You sat there and let Shaq do the talking while you would guided the conversation. Thanks.
I watched Shaq on TV and the internet for years, and this is the first time he made me cry. It's a good thing their happy tears or I would say, shame on him.
His Father was in the US Army. He had orders to move to those places, it’s not like he had an option, so military brats take off to those places too. I love the fact that he learned respect and had a Dad to speak into his life and give him guidance and direction.
Through all of what he said was priceless, and beautiful. But, one thing that stood out to me. Was that he NEVER disrespected his biological father. That's very important, because my Heavenly Father said to honor thy mother and father all the days of our lives. Much love, and respect to my Brother Shaquille👍🏿✊🏿💪🏿💯🏀 #LEGEND🏀
I love to hear Shaquille O'Neal sit down and talk. His voice is soothing, and he just knows how to have a conversation. I find this man mentally, and spiritually attractive. Yes, he's tall, dark, and handsome but that's not much too me. His mind and spirit, is what catches my eye. Shaquille O'Neal is all of that and some.
Needing a father in the home is just another narrative. With exception to Barkley, he was raised by his mom n grandmother. ( pops left family then stepdad died when he was 11)... it’s why he can put on a dress, lipstick, n heels no prob, on national tv. As far as Jordan’s dad....google his sister Delores n see how she feels about him. Then there’s OJ’s pops who admitted he was a homosexual (before he died in 1986) and was one of Frisco Bay Area’s best known drag queens when oj was growing up. You got joe Jackson, n Ike Turner, all these guys were in the home.
I always respect the good step parents my husband mom bf was a stepfather they r grown been divorced for 5 years they still come to his house every Christmas Thanksgiving every holiday. That speaks volumes as to how he raised them treated them like his own children have to respect that
Great interview I admire and respect this man.My dad left my mom with ten kids with no place to go. My step dad took us in I was 9 at the time. Four of my brothers were young adults my step dad even let them stay sometime. He was a good man we loved him dearly.
I lived on Fort Sam Houston during shaq's time at Cole High School and at LSU; I knew his father also; in fact, I took the same job his dad had at Classroom Support at Fort Sam; his dad was absolutely no nonsense but a good friend; he told the truth and if you didn't like him, that was your loss. I truly appreciated him and Shaq for who they are as black men but even more so, for the example SSG Harrison set for Shaq to emulate to manhood!!!
Shaq never ceases to amaze me. He may come off as a big goon, bit- he has a heart of gold, compassion for ALL people, and truly dedicated to bettering everything he touches.
@Roger B overall the guy is a really good interviewer the guests he brings on prove it , otherwise they wouldn't come on the show. Sometimes he does blabber about nothing. Good luck on the new job
Great interview. I've come to look up to Shaq in the way he speaks of those who helped him get to where he is. When he speaks about his mother and his father. When he speaks on this coach, and the loyalty he showed even though he didn't have to go to LSU. I especially respect how he speaks of getting his education eventually his PHD, and the reason why.
Had the pleasure of getting to know Shaquille’s dad at Ft. Sam Houston at San Antonio Texas. He was in charge of custodian at Brook Army Medical Hospital. I had arrived early and my training hadn’t started so they made work at the hospital cleaning and he was a nice guy.
Always look forward to listening to Shaq. He's a very good story teller & has a profound way of adding humor. Mad respect for his father. Too bad he passed before Shaq made it to the Hall of Fame. Great interview.
They should make a movie about Shag's life growing up as a teenager and then going into basketball. The struggles this man has been through to get to where he is and to have a Step father like he did who never gave up on him and even took in him and his mother and to raise him and give him a better outlook on life is just impressive and heart warming to hear. I want to see this movie of his life.
I went to (H.S.) school with several guys who made it to the NBA, one of which was the Capt. Of UNC's National Championship team in 1993. I remember him coming back from the McDonald's All Star Game (b4 college, 1989) and telling me about this guy named "Shaq", and just shaking his head. . . Next thing I knew, "Shaq" was a household name.
Thank you so much Shaq...My sister was adopted when I was a baby. Our parents have passed away and I thank God for the blessing and foresight they had for bringing her into my life. She is not my adopted sister; she is my sister. As a family we did help her contact her biological mother, but she was still struggling with an addiction. She is my sister, anything less is demeaning, I really appreciate the love you have for your dad!
i would pay good money just to have shaq tell me stories all day, forever btw, graham, by far best interviewer i've ever seen. these are absolute quality. thank you
Always knew he was as big as he had a big ego, which is detestable, but also knew there was sth genuine and special about him too, not just a big athletic guy with dodgy mainstream humor for the cameras. He is genuine, and although he exaggerates some stories, he's not fake. There's a difference. And this piece here is particularly touching.
No matter what size you were a few sessions 🤕🥲 with a GOOD MOM AND DAD leaves a lifetime of memories on your mind and in your ❤️. Thank God for the good parents ❤️
Today I had the opportunity to share this and a few other Shaq videos with the inner city students I teach. It was amazing to see their reaction and know that there's hope and a way to be better if you want it. I can have a million conversations with them but one or two clips seeing someone that is as successful as Shaq is makes way more of an impact. I hope this may have changed a student's direction in a positive way.
The more and more I listen to Shaq the more I gain new found respect, my early thoughts on Shaq was that he was just a big clown and a ego maniac but the more that I listen to him I respect him and see him as a big heart with an enormous view on people and life. He is a big Kid but that’s a good thing as it has a way on keeping him grounded.
Tough love was unconditional love. I don't care how people think today, back in the day, Respect was expected from your children. If not, then why should Mom and Dad respect you? Shaq saw his dream and persisted and became the great man we know today. Mad respect 🙌 for Shaq!

Shaq's dad is a real man.
+Strange Tamer, same thing. He said he considers him his father so he doesn't use the term step father.
Calvin Chu He went home to be a family man
@My RUclips Comments Are Now Shadow Banned I knew Sgt. Harrison and the word stepdad don't apply when it comes to him and Shaquille. He loved and raised him to be the great man that he is.
Calvin Chu, you damn right, his dad was a real man. I’m also glad after Shaq came into his own he was loyal and went to LSU
shaq is a real man.
Shaqs father raised one hell of a man. Parents like him are slowly dying off. Its not the youth that is todays problem, its the parents.
💯
i was at an international school in China with students from around the world, the most rude children were merely replicating their parents. its disappointing
No lies told!
True true.... Shaq father had the old Jamaican upbringing and those people were very strict and discipline and plus the father being a Sergeant gave Shaq all the discipline he needed.
I wish I could like your comment 1 MILLION Times!! I've worked with young people most of my adult life and I've found that indifferent, belligerent, OPPOTUNISTIC Parents consistently set their kids up for failure!

Like Kaepernicks white parents who stepped up

Shaq size makes it possible
The host is good at letting his guests speak.
@@standupG1 he definitely has the best interviews in all of mainstream media. No doubt. He gets the guests comfortable, asks them neutral questions that they can interpret in multiple ways, he NEVER cuts off his guests, and he asks questions everyone wants to know
Shaq is an amazing storyteller. I could listen to him for hours. :)
He can just rap about it.
For real! I sunk right in. I can’t wait for Shaqs documentary. The guy is still killing it
He really is
Me too
I love how he said 'the term stepfather I don't really use' . My Mom's husband made me who I am. My birth dad did not want to know. My father took my mom on with three kids and made me what I am today. Love you dad!

What a wonderful story! Step fathers can be amazing parents and role models.
+Jason Jacobs wow bro did she really deserve that? you wouldn't tell her that to her face in real life , so why would you say that over the Internet?
I agree and I d ont believe in step" either you are a dad or a mom ..that's it.

He really love his step father! His very great full he never forget who help him and his mother!
SHAQ is such an incredible human being! How would we ever expect a response other than what he provided. We are BLESSED he has lived WELL among us.
Shaq is not a human being. Hebrews 13:2.

When he speaks on this coach, and the loyalty he showed even though he didn't have to go to LSU. I especially respect how he speaks of getting his education eventually his PHD, and the reason why.

To Shaq's father, you are a great leader, sir. That same leadership radiates from the son you raised. 👏
Thank you so much Shaq...My sister was adopted when I was a baby. Our parents have passed away and I thank God for the blessing and foresight they had for bringing her into my life. She is not my adopted sister; she is my sister. As a family we did help her contact her biological mother, but she was still struggling with an addiction.

I had a great father too. There is nothing like having a father that looks after his family with love, protection and guidance.
I'm not a basket call fan but I've always been a fan of shaq such a humble guy
I love you, Shaq. Being a Dad is being there. The best quote I ever heard about fatherhood was "Sarge my Dad!".
Shaqs dad got to have respect. Makes me respect Shaq a hell of alot more as a man. Great guy!❤
i would pay good money just to have shaq tell me stories all day, forever
btw, graham, by far best interviewer i've ever seen. these are absolute quality. thank you
Shaq step dad was a real man
That's what real men do step up and be a man.love the big fellow.
Dr. O'Neil!!! Too funny and serious at the same time. Great interview.
Father’s definitely makes a huge difference in our lives
Always knew he was as big as he had a big ego, which is detestable, but also knew there was sth genuine and special about him too, not just a big athletic guy with dodgy mainstream humor for the cameras. He is genuine, and although he exaggerates some stories, he's not fake. There's a difference. And this piece here is particularly touching.
I love listening to Shaq speak always interesting. Just like Wilt
It is clear Shaq's father loved him every bit as he loved him and the rewards he got for that unconditional love went with him to heaven.
You kiled this interview !! Do more !
Now that's a Grateful Son speaking about a Womderful Father/Dad
Beautiful story! My heart is so full and my faith restored in humanity (men).
