Martin offered his sympathies to Shaq for the recent death of NBA legend Kobe Bryant and O’Neal’s sister, Ayesha Harrison-Jex, who died in October after a battle with cancer. The 47-year-old was so moved by the sweet gesture that he decided to something nice for Martin.
In a Facebook post, Martin revealed that O’Neal told him to pick up the nicest laptop in Best Buy and that he would pay for it.
“We walked off, then Shaq comes to us and says, I like yall, so get the nicest one in here and I’ll pay for it. #RIPAyeshaHarrisonJex #RIPKOBE #MambaMentality.”
As we previously reported, Kobe and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna were just two of nine people to die in Sunday’s helicopter crash that included Christina Mauser, John, Keri and Alyssa Altobelli, Sarah and Payton Chester and pilot Ara Zobayan. The cause of the crash is still not immediately clear as of right now.
