This interaction between Shaq and a young fan ❤️

I met Shaq at a restaurant years ago in Georgetown. My son was about 12 years old and an avid basketball player/fan. Shaq could see my son staring at him and called him over. Talked with him, signed my sons cap and gave him a big hug. Legendary player and great human

I used to hate on Shaq hard as a player, but he’s a truly amazing person.

Takes 20 secs to make a lifetime memory for that young man. Good on you @shaq

Dam, the way the kid looks at his hand is everything. Well done @SHAQ

I swear, Shaq is the most gentle in all of the giants in the history, alongside Clifford, the Big Red Dog.

I’m 42 years old. And I’d be just like that kid when it comes to Shaq. One of the few athletes I’d just be grinning ear to ear to see.

Kid could turn one of Shaq’s shoes into a convertible.

Shaq, don’t eat him… you been looking like Shaquille O’Meal lately, better take up Chuck’s diet if you wanna lose weight

@petenajarian Shaq is a class act!!!

Shaq 1 hand is bigger than that boy
