I think if Shaq did not have money, he worked as a truck driver or any thing he would still show compassion to people. I believe it is not money that makes him generous but his heart.

[mitchellsmith]

Graham is an amazing interviewer, he starts off the story and passes it off to his guest and sits back and listens without interrupting.... clearly one of the best!!!!

my Shaq story, I work for NBC here in Houston, and we had the All-star game one year. Back stage at the shark bar, everyone wanted a pic with Shaq, SO i'm holding everyone's phone taking their pics, and when they were done everyone scattered, I'm like damn I wanted a pics too, then Shaq said hold on, let me take a pic with my man first. so of course everyone was rushing to get my phone so they can take the pic, Classy guy

[edwarddoyle]

Shaq has the best heart, a gentle loving giant.

[ashdoglsu]

Shaq was known in Baton Rouge for leaving huge tips and giving homeless ppl money.

[NextGenTrucker]

This is why you he isnt hated and broke. One of the good ones.

[GDGUYLIFE]

If every nba player was like Shaq, the world would be a better place, dude is truly a good man when it comes to community.

[ColKorn]

Shaq's parents did a good job. They probably spent lots on groceries too.

[MrMBB]

You just made me smile. Your a good man Shaquille O'Neal and I'm proud of you and don't even know ya!! True test of a humble man is to do something good for those in need or anyone for that matter when no one is looking, and, don't tell anyone. God is watching....that's all that really matters. A+ for you young man👍

[aglr]

"That's my thing, I just wanna make you smile" powerful words from a truly humble feller. Man deserves anything an everything good that comes his way. Proper respect

[kungfublob]

Incredibly rich, but also incredibly generous. He's a real legend, an ICON.

[FCule]

I admire this guy so much that he makes me cry, seriously.

I wish that one day I can do the same. Making people happy, especially the one you don't know for me is just priceless.

[blakemartin]

I Love that. “All I wanna do is make you smile.” That’s deep.

[linda_]

His parents definitely taught him great morals and values. This is why I've always admired Shaq!

this is a good series of interviews.ive never heard of u graham bensinger til today ur doin a good job i subscribed to u

[LetsGoHelio]

Many years ago, I was at a store. The only people in that store was me and a father with his 7ish yeah old son. Shaq walked in and the child immediately recognized him. Shaq noticed the dreamy look on the child’s face. So, he walked over to the child, messed up his hair (lol) and kneeled down to have a conversation with the kid. No one was around, he didn’t have to do that, but he’s shaq. He’s an incredible person.

[krevfeld]

Graham the best interviewer of all time, stress free to watch your shows

I dont even watch basket ball.. frekin love this guy

[mrrbb]

What a great guy. Genuine and humble he is a good example.

Shaq has a big heart. He makes a huge impact in the world. At times it is his sense of humor that could put a smile on anyone’s face. Then there are other moments his generous spirit makes a big difference for those who he happens to meet by chance. Time to honor his Mom/Dad for doing an excellent job. Well done.
