How did Shaquille O’Neal help that guy?

According to Shaq, this guy was nice but was struggling on the street with his family because he lost his job. Since that guy was hardworking it inspired Shaq to help him off the streets.

So Shaq bought him a three-bedroom apartment. Along with that he gave him some cash so that the latter could manage clothes and other household stuff. Moreover, he inquired for his job in a lawn service.

Two years later, that street guy opened his own lawn service and was cutting grass in Shaq’s home in Orlando.

“I sold my house in Orlando. But pressure to me is when you don’t know where your next meal is coming from. So I try not to complain, I try not to use that word pressure so I always tell my kids just go play have fun if you make it cool if you don’t I understand but you must have an education because respectable nepotism is the way that we can go”, Shaq said.
