He had giveaways on twitter and had a charity softball game in Oakland to support clean drinking water (he's from Flint).

You know Shaq grew up in a tough love environment right? He literally explained when he was in LA and wasn't winning, greats like Kareem criticized him and questioned if he's really great. Add-on the fact that his father told him Kareem was right. Also the show is dedicated because Shaq did a lot of funny and dumb plays. The issue was the NBA execs judging a player off a show for fun. Explains why half of the franchises in the NBA never get anywhere.

Shaq frequently gets a called lazy and accused of not reaching his full potential. Shaq gets criticized for his commercials etc. Shaq receives lot of criticism. He has said many times PROVE ME WRONG. He wants people to do better. Joel embid eventually understood what shaq and Barkley meant. He’s tough on his own sons, because he wants them to do better. People need to understand his style of motivation, it may not be to people’s liking or what they are used to today but least he cares enough to say something rather than let people live in delusion about their skills / performance, when they could do better.

When you from the hood hood, what Shaq did to javale is nothing more or less than a compliment. We definitely have tougher skin, but I like javale, keep up the success, and everybody leave Shaq alone he's an og he ain't did nothing wrong, if it was me, me and Shaq would've turned out to be best friends and we would have ragged on each other everyday, and effed around and got a movie deal or something who knows 💯

[@theyliveinthematrixofthefa4437]

I see what kind of "man" youbare . Shaq was out of bound and disrespected another grown man which eventually impacted that mans pocket$ / money which effects his family and the food of the table . If you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything

Shaq: "People think I'm hatin on these players but I do this stuff to motivate them to not do it again"

[@Jralford8]

One of the Dumbest things Shaq said. His take on D12 after the Lakers won the Finals proved its not motivation.

[@ChazBlanks]

@@Jralford8 The situation with D12 got personal ever since the Orlando days. His issue with Javalle was mostly Shaq coming off as bully until Javalle got into a great situation.

[@Jralford8]

@@ChazBlanks I'm saying Shaq says crazy things about players that's not constructive criticism. And can be seen as flat out hate. Using the D12 situation as an example.

The best part of all this is that after all that Shaqtin a Fool and making fun of JaVale, JaVale is only 1 ring away from Shaq lol. I hope he gets it too.

[@jejo63660]

After revisiting this whole thing I have a few thoughts; both sides have a bit of blame but I’m generally on the side of Javale, but… 1) There’s absolutely nothing wrong with segments like Shaqtin a fool that make fun of bad plays. NBA players play to entertain us. That’s what they get paid for. Players are paid to be watched, talked about, spectated. There’s nothing wrong for cheering lebron when he wins, or making fun of a Javale botched play. That’s sports. So, Javale was wrong to come at Shaq originally when all Shaq was doing was the Shaqtin segments. As long as your jokes are about the plays, not the players, its fair game. 2) Shaq was totally in the wrong for how he responded to Javale. The threats, followed by personal insults calling him a bum. He should have responded to Javale by saying something like “I didn’t mean to insult you personally, this Shaqtin show is just a show we do for fun, I don’t mean anything personal by doing it.” But he doubled down and truly tried to insult him as a person beyond basketball, which was crossing the line. 3) Shaq needs to get off this idea of “If i make fun of you, work to prove me wrong and stop being sensitive.” It’d be one thing if Shaq wasn’t sensitive but Chuck shows that Shaq is sensitive all the time. Also, some people get motivated by people joking on them, but many don’t. And the fact that Shaq thinks he’s doing the right thing by clowning people until they become motivated to prove him wrong is troubling. He shouldn’t assume he knows what’s best for every player. Javale reminds me of myself in many ways and I certainly know I don’t improve by people making fun of me, I improve by people trusting in and believing in me.

[@TheVic18t]

Don't totally agree with point #1. Shaq especially made a point and several segments making fun of Javale, far beyond what he would do for any other player. Shaqtin' A Fool began to affect Javale's career opportunities...from one player to another, that's gone way too far. You don't mess with another player's career opportunities. Lucky for Javale, the GSW could see through all of that and they saw potential in him that other teams didn't.
