Once again i will forever have tremendous love and respect for shaqs mom she is a good woman with a good heart

@illusive*, your comment about Shaq’s mom is very moving and glad you had a great experience meeting her. I think That’s why Shaq and his kids are so humble. They take it from this lovely and humble lady, Lucille O’Neil. I used to work at supermarket as a young adult in Boston MA and I know exactly how one felt when a customer treats you with dignity. Thanks for sharing.
