It’s not a secret that Shaquille O’Neal has become one of the most beloved legends in the NBA for a lot of reasons. Besides being a terrific player, he’s also a great person, and ever since he retired from the game, Shaq has earned a huge reputation not only in the league but in society. 

A waitress recently responded to Josiah Johnson’s question on who was the coolest famous person they ever met, with this woman picking O’Neal and telling a big experience she had with the Los Angeles Lakers legend. 

“Shaq! We met 10 years ago at the Lenox Grill in Atlanta, I was his waitress. He was very nice, friendly to everyone and generous. I ran into him again 2 months later and was shocked he remembered my name! ,” the lady wrote on Twitter along with two pics of herself and O’Neal.

This shows that Shaq was doing this type of stuff from a long time ago, trying to bring joy to all the people he could meet along the way. That’s what makes him such a lovable person, as he never stops trying to give back, even if it’s just a smile or words of encouragement. 

When it comes to competitiveness, O’Neal is right up there, but when he’s not debating or discussing his career, the Big Diesel is definitely a cool person. There have been many stories of him over the years, and people will keep telling them whenever they have the chance.


Shaquille O’Neal Is One Of The Most Humble NBA Legends 

O’Neal is a very funny man who is not afraid of laughing at himself. Back in the day, he told a little girl he was better than Michael Jordan when the kid asked if he was the Chicago Bulls legend. 

Earlier this month, he surprised a family by buying them a washer and dryer, showing again that he’s a total legend both on and off the court. 

O’Neal has been chasing the bag and doing a lot of stuff to get his money, but that also has helped him contribute to the well-being and happiness of other people. From making big decisions like investing in Google, to making cheaper shoes so more kids can afford them, Shaq has done so much for society and that’s simply amazing.
