The Diesel is known for being a generous giant. Shaquille O’Neal’s kindness is perhaps the only thing that surpasses his dominance on the court. Back in 2013, the 4× NBA champion made an incredible gesture. He gifted a struggling family with nine kids both a brand-new truck and a minivan. Now, years later, as that moment resurfaces, fans are reacting with surprising comments. What are they saying? Let’s find out!
Mandrae and Karissa Collins, famously known as the Collins family online had seven children back in 2013. Today, that number has grown to 12. That same year, Shaquille O’Neal spotted them on the street. And knowing his love for kids, he decided to surprise them with a minivan and a truck.
After the purchase, they all posed for a picture outside the car showroom. This moment recently resurfaced on the Instagram account GOODNEWSPAGE. While many fans flooded the comments with love and admiration for Shaq, some weren’t as open-minded about the photo.
Fans keep trolling the 12 children’s family despite Shaquille O’Neal’s gift
GOODNEWSPAGE shared the picture on their Instagram alongside a heartfelt message, praising Shaquille O’Neal’s generosity. They wrote, “Shaquille O’Neal’s generosity knows no limits! From surprising a family of 11 with a custom van and a new truck to blessing strangers with meals and life-changing tips, he continues to give back in incredible ways. His kindness and heart for helping others remind us all to spread love whenever we can. ”
And honestly, that couldn’t be more true. As soon as the post went live, fans flooded the comment section with admiration. A user named @ggnonaj wrote, “He is very kind and caring ” while @mema_1951 added, “He has such a big heart. Thank you Shaq.” But while many praised Shaq’s noble act, others had a different perspective, one focused more on the size of the Collins family rather than the kindness shown.
A user named @bluskye.coh bluntly commented, “Sounds like he should’ve paid for some damn birth control.” Another @fallingtimbersoap, added, “I hope he threw in a vasectomy,” while @Jose19631981 took it even further, writing, “11 kids? Shaquille should have paid for getting her tubes tied.”
At the end of the day, generosity is about giving without judgment. Shaquille O’Neal didn’t stop to question how big the Collins family was or whether they “deserved” his kindness. He simply saw a need and filled it. That’s what true compassion looks like.
It’s very easy for us to sit behind a screen and critique someone else’s life choices, but the real challenge is learning to uplift rather than tear down. Whether a family has two kids or twelve, kindness should never come with conditions. Instead of focusing on negativity, perhaps we should take a page from Shaq’s book and ask ourselves, how can we make a difference in someone’s life today? What do you think?
