That is one of the most selfless things I’ve ever read about an NBA player. Good for him, and thank goodness someone is helping that poor little girl’s biological father, who must be devastated by this murder. Absolutely appalling.

G-d Bless you Shaq! Thank you for helping this little angel’s soul rest in peace.

That was nice of him.
The majority of those 2000+ people didn’t know that child. It would be great if the same 2000 worked together to try to do something to prevent such a thing from happening to another child.
What a great thing to do. God Bless you Shaq.
