Just as big as Shaquille O’Neal is the surprise he gave himself to two Venezuelan women after surprising them in a store in the United States.

The NBA legend hung up his apron like a worker, walked the corridors of Home Depot, made videos and joked with employees and customers.

In the videos published on his Instagram profile, he showed moments of laughter and mischief he played in the store.

The material also has a gentle nod to the memory of Kobe Bryant, who passed away in January 2020. The Lakers player died along with his eldest daughter in a helicopter crash.

However, the most widespread and viral material was not uploaded by him. He posted only a short scene. That video, which went viral on the afternoon of Thursday, June 15, once again speaks of the solidarity that characterizes it.

O’Neal, to the surprise of two women – mother and daughter – who were shopping, gave away a washing machine and a clothes dryer.

Shaquille O’Neal surprises two Venezuelans

The lucky ones from Venezuela were touched by the presence of a charismatic former player whose height far exceeds two meters (2.16 m).

The 51-year-old former basketball player, four-time NBA champion and Olympic gold winner, as pointed out by Marca, approached the women and asked them what electrical devices they were looking for. The Venezuelans told him, and at that moment O’Neil gave them an unexpected gift.

Leave it to me, I’ll pass it on, O’Neal said.

God, mommy. He will pay for the washer and dryer. I can’t believe it, answered one of the Venezuelans, reports Infobae.

When they heard the gift they were going to receive, they were both overcome with emotion. They shouted, hugged the former basketball player, thanked him, blessed him and took their mobile phones to take pictures and videos with Shaquille O’Neal

– Blessed are you (health, blessing), mother and daughter repeated to the basketball idol with emotion.

Shaquille O’Neal Recurring Gifts

Infobae, like netizens, recalled a time when O’Neal made similar gestures.

“Once he surprised a boy in a supermarket and gave him a bicycle. Donated $50,000 to Buffalo shooting victims. On another occasion, he entertained a large family in Texas for lunch and dinner for two days, and gave them a 15-seater Mercedes van as a gift,” Infobae reported.

They also said he gave away 1,000 Nintendo Switches and brought one woman all the furniture she needed for her home.

But… why does it do that?

“Every time I go to the store, I will buy something for someone, I swear. Every time I leave the house I have to bless someone, I can’t keep all this,” he once said, reports Infobae.

I’m trying to do something positive, I’m trying to lift that person’s spirit.
