Shaquille O’Neal passed by and gave a reporter a little head massage, for which the reporter thanked him.
A reporter received an unexpected gesture of friendship and something kind of weird. Then again, when that gesture comes from the irreplaceable Shaquille O’Neal, it can be see as nothing more than Shaq being Shaq. If none of this makes sense, then you are in the right place. Check it out below.

Only Shaq truly knows what was on Shaq’s mind when he ran his hand through that reporter’s hair, but we like to think he admired the style and the smell of the hair, taking a moment to genuinely observe this tiny man’s hair before returning to his bowl of cereal at courtside.
Two additional factors really kill on this Vine. 1) You can’t even see Shaq’s face. It’s just this huge long arm that comes out of nowhere and rubs the guy’s head, but somehow you just know who it is. 2) The ‘I appreciate that, Shaq,’ answer was the best. It’s like that guy is used to Shaq passing by and treating him like a teammate or a roomie.
So remember your manners, kids. If Shaq gives you a head massage, you don’t ask questions. You just say thank you.
