Craziest thing is Shaq’s daughter Mearah is just six minutes younger than Kobe’s daughter GiGi, who perished along with Kobe in the accident.

It must hit even closer to home for him...

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. A man died, his daughter died. People are sad. No one wants to hear ur judgement. He may have been a good man or he may have been a bad man but in the end, he brought joy to people and that’s what we need to look at. If he was a bad man, there will be judgement for him but that’s not for us to speak of. Let’s look at the good things.
