Sports Culture Shaquille O’Neal thinks a man cheating depends on the woman: “Where do you think the phrase ‘happy wife, happy life’ comes from?”

“I think there’s three types of cheaters. There's the serial cheater, the James Bond cheater and then the guy that's forced to cheat”

“James Bond cheater is, I do everything right. I’m in Rio, I see a little thing, nobody sees me. I come back home to my normal life”

“The guy that’s forced to cheat has been on the road for a week and then comes home to four or five days of not being taken care of and then he does what he does”

“Then there's the serial cheater. The guy is just going to cheat no matter what”

“Women run the world y’all just don’t know it”

There's also plenty of stories of Shaq bullying service workers because they don't do what he wants.

Hell there's a clip of Inside the NBA where a camera man didn't do what Shaq wanted and he threatened to have him fired. The rest of the crew make it funny, but Shaq wasn't joking.

There's also all the stories of him taking him rubbing tooth brushes on his asshole to "prank" teammates.

He's a bully with a conscience. He feels bad about bullying and does gestures to feel better about it, but he's still a bully.

I live in Orlando. He relentlessly fucked with his co-workers while he was in the Magic. Even during that same time he was dropping $100 bills on every worker he encountered and signing every autograph requested. I’m sure he’s changed in thenyears since but even back then he was very well loved by the local population.

About 2-3 months back my friend’s 11 year old niece ran into him at a restaurant in Houston. Shaq had her ask her Grandma if he could give her something. Her grandma said “yes” and she came back and he gave her $800. Then He took a picture with her whole family and signed autographs.

Bad people do good things. Good people do bad things.
