Shaq is not the devil

I have never ever been a fan of Shaquille O'Neal. I have always respected his game, but think that he is a little outspoken when he should keep his mouth shut. All in all I guess he's earned his right to speak as much as anyone (Though I have always been bothered by uneducated athletes who speak out on public issues, much like movie stars, just being famous doesn't mean you know anything, even if people listen to you). But in the past few days I have changed my mind a bit about Mr. O'Neal. It was reported a few days ago that George Mikan, one of the greatest NBA players ever and the first ever superstar, died at the age of 80. George's family is apparently not as well off as it once was, for one reason or another and Shaquille O'Neal offered to pay for George's funeral. This is an amazing show of respect and kindness. At least for this week much love for Shaq-Fu.
