Shaq & Funeral Payment


NBA all-star Shaquille O'Neal is known as Superman on the basketball court, but now we know he can be a hero off the court too, with Shaq's funeral payment for a young girl recently murdered in North Carolina.

The girl, Shaniya Davis, was kidnapped and killed in North Carolina and broke hearts across America when she was found dead after days of being missing. Shaq saw the news reports and was moved to do whatever he could to help remember this poor girl and her family and friends. With so much bad news around, in and out of the sports world, it's good to see some stories about an athlete who shows heart and class! Bravo to the Big Aristotle.

I believe God is with Shaq as an angel to this loving little angel girl, and her family to keep them comfort with his warm heart of love.
You'll be bless as always with God's spirit. SHAQ!!!

I think that what Shaq did, was a very kind and pure thing to do for this little girl and the family. I wish that more people with a social and financial status like Shaq, would use what they have to help people in times of need. If more people were like him the world would be a much better place.
