The Softer Side of Shaq


I'm sure you all have heard about the tragic death of 5-year-old Shaniya Davis from North Carolina, who was raped and brutally murdered. Shaniya's mother, Antoinette Davis has been charged with child trafficking, child abuse, and prostitution. The man accused of raping Shaniya, Mario McNeill, was charged with first degree murder and first degree rape. But in more uplifting news, professional basketball player, Shaquille O'Neal, was so moved by the tragedy that he decided to pay for Shaniya's funeral. I must say that this story has truly touched my heart and has shown me the softer side of Shaq.

  1. That story was such a tragedy. It's so sad she was so young and for her life to be taken away so violently at a young age. I believe that that was a very generous move that Saq made.
