Why Shaq is Actually God's Gift to Mankind

Shaquille O'Neal is debatable one of the best basketball players of this generation and absolutely with out a doubt one of the most wonderful human beings in the world. Shaq can play basketball, crack jokes, dance and even try to act.

When people look at the world of celebrities many big names come up as someone's favorite celebrity before Shaq. However, I believe that Shaq should be everyone's favorite person in the entire universe. The 7'1'' NBA All Star has a lot going for him and I dare you to to watch interviews, Inside the NBA segments and different NBA moments without falling in love with him. When you think of "love" or " God's Gift" you don't automatically think of Shaq and it is time to change that.

1. First and foremost he gave us the critically panned, but some how still beautiful film "Kazaam". With a 6% rating on rotten tomatoes you would expect the worst, but you actually get something amazing.

2. His dance moves are grade A, impressive. This can be seen from several examples, because when the big man hears music he must dance.

3. Whether he is challenging other basketball players or dancing with a professional hip hop troupe everyone can admit he's got the moves.



4. He's a big man, which means there is more to love. Just look at Jimmy Fallon enjoying himself in Shaq's jacket.



5. However, just because he's a big guy doesn't mean he has it all together. Shaq is a klutz and that is what makes this beautiful man seem more human.


6. Shaq used to break backboards just as much as not being able to be his best friend breaks my heart.


7. Aaron Carter wrote a song about him.

8. Shaq can rap with the best of them.


9. He picks on Charles Barkley on national television.

10. Can't forget all those championships.

11. And his monster dunks.

12. However, his lack of ability to make a free throw makes him more perfect.


13. Shaq's twitter is frankly on point.


14. Most importantly he has given us Shaq n the Fool and reminded us that basketball players are human and they can be ridiculous.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
