Shaquille O’Neal is well-known for his generosity in addition to his skill as an athlete. He recently demonstrated his generosity when he struck up a conversation unexpectedly with a woman at a Best Buy.
When Kquoella Lewis observed the tall person standing next to her, she was at the store to buy an iPad. She was shocked to learn that it was none other than Shaquille O’Neal, the basketball legend. Lewis started talking to O’Neal and found out that she was interested in the newest Samsung Galaxy Z Flip phone.
O’Neal turned to the store employee and told them to “get two, one for me and one for her” without pausing. The price of a Galaxy Z Flip phone is approximately $1200, so Lewis was astounded by O’Neal’s generosity. It was discovered that O’Neal is an admirer of Apple goods and did not want to keep the phone for himself.
Shaquille O’Neal has been spotted carrying out charitable deeds before. He had heard earlier this year about Eric Kilburn Jr., a young child, who was having trouble finding shoes that fit him. Kilburn, a man with enormous feet who wears a men’s size 23 shoe and is 6 feet 10 inches tall, was having a lot of difficulties.
The adolescent’s parents had tried everything, including having his size 22 shoes professionally resized, to get him the perfect pair of shoes. Sadly, this resulted in soreness and issues with the feet. The family started a GoFundMe campaign after they were unable to get appropriate shoes, and the video went viral.
Expert shoe designers from leading companies like CAT, Puma, and Under Armour got in touch to offer their help with creating special shoes for Kilburn. The family was, however, taken aback by a call they received from NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal.
Kilburn received five alternative shoe designs from O’Neal’s Reebok crew, as they knew of his past struggles. For the teenager, who was accustomed to having little say in what shoes he wore, the gesture meant the world.
O’Neal sent the sneakers with a note that said, “Eric – We really hope that these sneakers we made for Shaq fit you and bring you some comfort. We wanted to deliver them to you as soon as possible, but we still have a few more things on the way. Be assured that we will support and assist you at every turn!
Shaquille O’Neal’s deeds of generosity are a true reflection of his character, both on and off the court. We are all inspired by his eagerness to assist those in need. Let’s tell his story and show kindness to everyone to improve the world.
