The Los Angeles Lakers legends have truly made the holidays special. While James Worthy and Robert Horry were present at the latest Holiday Hope event, Magic Johnson and Shaquille O’Neal continued with their annual festive traditions. LA’s finest were present to help the struggling families and kids. Their acts of kindness are not just putting smiles on faces but also shining a light on the power of giving back. But how did they manage to do that?

5x champion Johnson always prepares special Holiday Hope Christmas parties or events for kids. The 64-year-old brings various gifts, including toys and bikes, to bring joy to the children and families. Even last year, he went to Lansing to provide essentials to about 1000 families. Magic, along with his wife Cookie, extended the same help this year as well. They helped about 800 families with a 25-pound box of food, personal care items, and AVON products provided by ‘Feed the Children’ partners.

On the other hand, the Lakers were right on time at the Pechanga Casino for the Holiday of Hope event. Michael Jordan‘s former college teammate and Lakers great James Worthy was present along with 7x champion Robert Horry. Sharing a glimpse of him and a kid from the event, he expressed his happiness to be a part of it. His caption read, “Great night helping kids pick out toys at Holiday of Hope at @pechangacasino.” 

While these stars continue to make many children’s dreams come true, Shaquille O’Neal dove into his Shaq-A-Clause alter ego to spread festive joy in Georgia.

The annual Shaq-A-Claus event, held at Wesley Lakes Elementary School, benefited over 750 children in McDonough, Georgia, offering gifts, clothes, pizza, and festive surprises.
