Shaq did a lot for the gulf region during the initial stages of the Katrina tragedy, both financially and in person.  As said before he is a deputy in Florida with aspirations to be a sherriff eventually when he retires, and he works with kids orginizations a lot.

yeah he plays really smart like hes a veteran and he's only been in the league for 3 years!!\nhes way quicker, faster, and athletic than any one else in the entire league so i think he'll have a good chance to win championships and be among the best ever!!\nplus girls think he's cute not to mention hes a model for sean john!!

He is the best center in the nba. He''s not a center so you can't compare him to power forwards. The best center used to be Shaq but he is too old already and the torch is now passed to Yao. He still has a ways to go but he is improving every year and is definitely the best center right now.

Yes, because he has an aggressive streak.  This is missing in the NBA right now from the big men.  Also, he was groomed to be the number 1 pick.  I remember when they were talking about him in the 8th grade.  They won't let him be a flop.  He is suppose to be the one to take the reigns from Shaq.

Without a shadow of a doubt he is the best player in the world at the moment.Every aspect of his game is so solid and his leadership qualities are the stuff of legend.There are more skillful players.But none better.

No. Sorry he's good but there are just a lot more forwards better than him. Dwight Howard, Rasheed Wallace, Jermaine O'Neal, \nChris Bosh for example

Shaquille Rashaun O'Neal or simply known as "Shaq" influences are Lucille O'Neal Harrison his mom, who would marry U.S. Army sergeant Phillip Harrison (whom Shaq considers his father figure) shortly after Shaquille's birth. Shaq spent some of his childhood in Germany in Wildflecken, Bavaria, where his stepfather Harrison was stationed with the U.S. Army. It was there that he learned to play basketball.\n\nO'Neal fractured both of his wrists while climbing between two trees, trying to imitate Spider-Man, his comic book favorite, and sometimes explains that this is why he makes only half of his free throws.\n\nThe most famous influence of shaq is no other than NBA Legend Magic Johnson.

A bit of both but slightly more ballhog. You know he's a ballhog because just look at his stats from his "amazing" game 81 POINTS & 2 ASSISTS pretty big contrast huh? But you can't deny that he's slightly unstoppable because, as you can see by watching him, he's such a shooter that no matter what type of shot he has to take, chances are he'll make it if it's a bit of a distance inside the arc.

My hero is the one who considers himself as a hero.Confidence is the only capital which makes one real hero

Magic, he could actually shoot the ball from around the court.  Shaq is a post up player without much in the way of shooting ability from any kind of distance.

I think what all of you are saying is BS.  First of all, about the rape thing... he was found innocent if you remember.  And about being a ball hog, thats what he has to do to win games!  Lamar Odem had two concecutive triple doubles before the Suns game tonight anyway, so obviousley other people are scoring and he is passing it.  But if his team wants to win, Kobe has to take shots.  And if he makes a lot of the shots he takes, which he obviously does, then it's fine in my point of view.  Kobe is an amazing player, and the most like MJ in the game today.

Shaq should have won nearly every MVP since his third or fourth year even though i dislike him\nno one has every had a larger impact on a team, there has yet been a strategy that can beat him\nhe is underrated because most people dislike the fact that his only talents are enormous size, power, and athleticism

Sure. Just not in the NBA. \n\nGreatest basketball player ever. He was amazing. He gave the city of Chicago some of the greatest sports memories... The Shot over Ehlo, hitting six three's in the first half against Portland, beating Utah while he was sick, or his last shot as a Bull... to win a championship. Just awesome.

Yes.  He's just a better person and player.\n\nRemember that E-40 and Too Short song with Jodeci, "Player's Ball?"\nE-40 says, "Don't buy an 85,000 car before you buy a house."\nWell, the first thing LeBron did was buy the biggest SUV he could find while his mama still lived in the projects.\n\nAlso, LeBron has a tatoo that goes from shoulder to shoulder on his back that says Chosen One.  He's lucky he didn't sprain his ankle in high school.  Then people would be asking him his whole life, why he has that stupid tattoo when he just cleans toilets for a living.\n\nMeanwhile KG is adopting kids and leading by example.  Unlike LeBron and Kobe and these other egotistical bastards, he doesn't refer to his teammates as his supporting cast.\n\nKG has only played with four good players his entire career:  Szcerbiak, Cassell, Gugliotta, and Peeler.\nYet he's made the playoffs 9 out of 10 times.\n\nKG is also better at getting away with travelling.

Yes, I like his butt especially how big and round it is. Whenever I see the Heat play and they show Shaq, the first thing I look at is his butt.

The man is a great talent... If you ever heard the mans' life story you too would love the man... He was constantly told in his life that he was never going to make it to the NBA... Boy did he prove the world wrong.  Besides the man has shoots the ball well he distributes the basketball and even get a couple of boards.  His work ethic also is second to none.  Gilbert Areanas in my book is GREAT!!!

In every game the man has ever played he gets relentlessly hacked, kicked, elbowed, gouged, and cheap-shotted by big, strong, men. Most of the time SHAQ does not even flinch and that is why the refs have such a difficult time officiating a fair game involving SHAQ. You basically have to hit him over the head with a bar stool before a ref will call a foul on someone trying to defend SHAQ. If you wanted to provoke SHAQ the first thing that you would do is make sure that your wife new where all of your important papers were and whether or not you wanted to be cremated or buried... If SHAQ wanted to hurt you he would end you.
