lol @ your nervous laff

He can be very funny. Bear grillis had him on for survival show, and Shaq was pretty funny through it all. I don’t like some of his beleifs, but he has been fairly conservative on some issues

At Madame Tussaud’s in Las Vegas they have a life size Shaq underneath a basketball hoop with a ball there. So, everyone can post up against the big guy.

With little tiny gymnast Simone Biles

I believe he was given an Honorary Doctorate in something.
He is a very likeable person.

[Michael.SF.]

First thing I thought of as well.

[milagro]

No kidding!
His “where the fur at?” quip had me LOL!

[Jonty30]

He’s pretty humble as well. He doesn’t want to be a celebrity. He just wants to be Shaq.

Gorillas know leadership and talent when it crosses their radar. Those gorillas should have say at pro sports draft times.

[JonPreston]

I love Shaq and I love gorillas!

If everyone was like Shaq, there wouldn’t be a “race problem” in America. As a veteran, I’m proud that he credits being brought up in a military family for making him the man his is. You are the man, Shaq.

Shaq says Donald Trump is his friend (before he was forced to change his position)

My cousin worked for a zoo during the late 60s. She took care of the Macaques, but had not gone to the zoo in years. She went with my family to visit again. The oldest macaque just laid on the floor, picking at leaves ,and ignored me and children.
Then when my cousin walked up - the old monkey jumped up, hang on the cage, and talked chattered very excited. He knew her. He was thrilled to see his old friend again.

“No, I knew it was you.”

[Rennes Templar]

Also a conservative.

[The MAGA-Deplorian]

He’s the black Chuck Norris!

No. Chuck can make a free throw.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Isn’t that racist?

[alexander_busek]

Sounding vaguely racist, can Shaquille O'Neal be charged with using "hateful speech" against himself??

"Vaguely" racist? That is full-bore racist hate speech right there!

Shaq, who is 7 feet 1, 325 pounds,

Boy.

I had to read that twice to figure out he is seven feet, one inch and three hundred and twenty five pounds and NOT seven feet and one thousand and three hundred and twenty five pounds.

More coffee is definitely required.

[bray]

He and Chuck are the funniest guys ever.
