Shaq’s Surprises Kids for Pickup Game

Shaquille O’Neal has been retired from playing in the NBA for almost five years now, but he was recently inspired to lace his shoes up again.

Last week, the Gainesville Police Department in Florida released a video of Officer Bobby White responding to a noise complaint regarding several kids in the neighborhood playing basketball. Upon arrival, Officer White assessed the situation and acted accordingly.

Once the video of the friendly encounter starting spreading across the Internet, Shaq decided he wanted to get in on the fun.

The fifteen-time NBA All-Star made a surprise appearance in the same neighborhood where the video was filmed to play the game that brought them all together.
