Basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal surprises the kids who were reported for playing ball in a Gainesville neighborhood

Remember the viral video of Officer Bobby White
of Gainesville, Florida who was called to the
scene of a 'noisy kids' complaint, found some
teens innocently playing basketball during the
daytime and instead of scolding them, joined
them to play?
Video of the cop's good-hearted community
policing which went viral with over four million
views, attracted retired Basketball legend,
Shaquille O'Neal. Shaq first came to the police
station to surprise the police officer - and then
they and several other officers headed for the
neighborhood where the kids were playing.
Surprising the kids, O'Neal played with them for
awhile and then promised $100 to whoever could
make a free throw. Each of the kids managed to
get the ball in on the first try, except for one kid,
who got it in on the second try. He kept to his
promise, gifted them and also advised them,
saying,
'Here's the secret that will change your life.
Know how much money I made?
$700million. I did it by listening to my
peers, my mommy and daddy, and focusing
on school. I grew up just like this and you
could grow up to be whatever you want to
be.'
O'Neal then told the boys he was proud of them
for staying out of trouble and urged them to keep
playing ball. He also had them repeat after him: 'I
will become whatever I want to be; I will be a
leader and not a follower; I will respect my peers
and my elders and especially my parents.'
