Shaquille O'Neal is known for his diamond-studded NBA career as well as his slightly less luminous attempts at acting over the years, but the dude also has a really big heart as well:
Shaquille O'Neal has revealed he handed out 1000 PS5s and Nintendo Switches to underprivileged children over Christmas.
The former basketball player, 49, spoke with Gary Vaynerchuk's on The Gary Vee Audio Experience podcast and said that he finds it important to give away gifts as he 'didn't have a lot' growing up...
'I call, you know, my friend from [Nintendo], got about 1,000 [Nintendo Switches] sitting there, got about 1,000 PS5s, I went to Walmart and got bikes.
'So, you know, yesterday, at this little elementary school in McDonough, Georgia, kids were crying, kids were happy, and that's what it's all about.'
Yeah in the sports-analysis world that's what they call [checks notes] a "slam-dunk."
This is not the only generous gift bonanza the gentle giant is known for: His annual Shaq-A-Claus event has distributed tons of presents to kids every year for over two decades.
Say what you want about Shaq's FT percentage, he is obviously a great guy and a wonderful role model for kids.
