Shaq was out shopping when he saw a man buying an engagement ring – then he bought it for him

NBA great Shaquille O'Neal was recently in an Atlanta-area jewelry store and he ended up buying an engagement ring — but it wasn't so he could propose to anyone. The former Laker saw a man buying a ring and offered to purchase it for him.

The gesture was caught on camera and the video quickly went viral. Shaq is seen slyly taking out his credit card and handing it to the store clerk as the stranger was getting ready to pay. The two shook hands and posed for a photo after. The basketball star turned sports commentator spoke about gift during the NBA aftershow on TNT Tuesday night. "This happened yesterday. I was in Zales looking for some new earrings, and I saw a guy," Shaq told his co-hosts.
