I honestly think that Shaq is the best player in the league, with all due respect to Tim Duncan, and I think his actions were genuine and noble by offering to pay for George Mikan's funeral, but I wish he did it in private rather than on national TV. Because he broadcast his desire in public, all of us are questioning his motives.

He's a good man and we should all respect him for that without comparing him to other pro sports athletes. He's always done what's moral and he'll have me behind him as he continues in his path towards doing the right thing.
I just think Shaq was being all he knows how to be and that is Shaq. I like the fact that he likes the same things we like, and kids like since he is a big kid, yet his day job is what it is. While I think he does have more than one baby's momma he is obviously a family man. As far as I can remember he hasn't blatantly started any drama in the press. He has been forced to respond many times but that is to be expected. He just seems as normal and fun loving as someone can be when they are 7 feet tall (and almost 7 feet wide, I saw him once and his width is more impressive than his height) and play in the NBA.
