Shaquille O’Neal Pays Off Engagement Ring For Random Man At Store
Shaq can’t stop with the random acts of kindness and recently made a man’s day after he paid off his engagement ring at a jewelry store.
During an appearance on NBA on TNT, Shaq spoke about how he paid off the price of an engagement ring for a random man. The footage of the video soon went viral.
“This happened yesterday,” O’Neal said.. “So I was in Zales, looking for some loop earrings and I seen the guy come in and he was just so shy and he was saying, ‘Hey, how much do I owe to pay off my ring?’ So I said, ‘My man, how much is the ring?’ I’m not going to say the amount, but it’s not much for me.”

“I didn’t mean for that to get out because I don’t do it for that,” Shaq added. “The guy just came in, he was a young kid, hard-working guy and was saying, ‘Hey I can come back in the next month, and the next month’ like layaway, he puts the money down. So I said, ‘Tell your girlfriend I got it. I’ll take care of it.’ At first, he didn’t want to take it and said ‘I can’t do that’ so I said ‘Don’t worry about it, I do it all the time.’ I’m just trying to make people smile, that’s all.”
