Shaq gifts a family of 11 two new cars, but his kindness goes even further.

Shaquille O’Neal is arguably one of the most renowned basketball players of all time. His fame isn’t just due to his exceptional performance on the court but also his incredible generosity!

Over the years, numerous stories have highlighted just how kind-hearted Shaq is. He’s often seen covering other people’s restaurant bills and leaving extraordinarily generous tips for waitstaff.

The Collins Kids is a popular Instagram account featuring a family with nine siblings. Shaq is openly friends with the family and frequently spends time with them.

Run by Karissa, the young mother of nine children, the Instagram account has amassed over 350k followers. Shaq had been communicating with the family through Instagram and even visited them at the beginning of this year.

During his first visit, he spent quality time with the children, showering them with attention. Karissa later wrote in a post about the visit, “He came in and played ‘Watch Ya Mouth’ with the kids, loved on them, encouraged them, entertained them, took pics with them, gave them gifts, encouraged us as parents, and just showed us so much love.”

Although this sweet interaction was more than enough for the family, the legendary athlete had more in mind. A few months after their initial meeting, he surprised them again with dinner. “Last night we had a surprise visit from Shaq. He took us to dinner as a family at Babes Chicken. It was so much fun to just hang out and eat dinner with him.”

Even though the family was already delighted, the NBA star had additional plans. The next day, he took them to a Mercedes dealership and ordered a custom 15-passenger van for them, which they are set to receive in mid-July.

The family was astonished by his generosity, and the kids couldn’t stop hugging their hero.

But Shaq’s kindness didn’t stop there! The family joined the NBA legend for dinner once more, where they said he spread happiness all around.

“He then took us to dinner at Rainforest Café where he paid for another table’s entire meal, not knowing that they were from out of state and here on missions. And then he tipped our waitress $1,000 after her car broke down today,” Karissa shared.

During their second dinner together, Shaq discovered that the father of nine was experiencing issues with his truck’s air conditioning and heating.

Without hesitation, Shaq took the family to a Ford dealership and bought the dad a new truck!

The family couldn’t feel more blessed. Beyond his generous gifts, Shaquille O’Neal also spent meaningful time with them, for which they were deeply grateful.

Karissa wrote, “He also spent time encouraging us, loving on our children, and speaking life into our family.”

Shaquille O’Neal is clearly a wonderful human being. Not everyone with his level of wealth is as generous.
