Alex gets a Shaq-tastic wish.

"My Wish" is a collaborative effort with Make-A-Wish that chronicles the granting of unique sports-related wishes for children with life-threatening medical conditions.

Make-A-Wish® grants the wish of a child diagnosed with a life-threatening medical condition in the United States and its territories, on average, every 38 minutes. We believe that a wish experience can be a game-changer. This one belief guides us. It inspires us to grant wishes that change the lives of the kids we serve.

    I like how it says: Shaq meets Alex, like Shaq is the make-a-wish kid

    You can tell Shaq's a truly good person and a natural father figure. It's kind of surprising considering his size and all he's accomplished but he still has a good head on his shoulders and his heart is bigger than he is.

    Shaq is the man looking after that kid and taking his brothers too

    I like that Shaq is putting a tremendous amount of effort into making Alex feel comfortable hanging with him and to not make him feel Star Struck.

    Shaq is the man, he just gets it. He is always doing stuff for the kids and the community.

    I love how the kid says "thank you" at 5:38.........you can tell he's been raised right and he has a good, appreciative heart. Awesome for Shaq to do all of these things. Great person.
