NBA Legend Shaquille O’Neal is one of the greatest to ever play the game. He is also one of the few people in the NBA who is known to be very charitable. Shaq has had several contributions to various charities, and he is also seen buying gifts and stuff for random people. But his co-worker Charles Barkley doesn’t seem to agree with that and has downplayed his image.
Shaq has been seen giving huge tips to waiters. Sometimes, there are stories that he has given people thousands of dollars. He was once on the Jimmy Kimmel show and he said that when he is at restaurants, he is a big tipper. He likes to show people their appreciation.

Shaq said that he tells the waiters that the faster he gets his food, the bigger the tips are. And after finishing his meal, he asks them how much they want and whatever they tell, he agrees to that. According to him, the most someone he has tipped is $4000.
But his friend and colleague Barkley debunks this statement from Shaq.
