Recently, a viral video came out of Gainsville, Fla., when a noise complaint was called into the Gainsville Police Department of children playing basketball “too loudly” in the street in the late afternoon. Officer Bobby White was called onto the scene and saw that nothing was wrong with the situation. In good fun, Officer White ended up playing with the children for a couple of minutes and ended the game with a monstrous dunk. Before he left, he stated that he would be back and would have backup players to be with him.
NBA great Shaquille O’Neal got word of this situation and decided to travel to Gainsville to meet Officer White to commend him of his actions towards the kids. Going back to the neighborhood, Officer White met up with the kids and said, “Told you I was gonna bring some backup, right? You guys ready? Look at these big guys I brought. You sure you can take them?” After all the officers gathered, Shaq walked out of his SUV to greet the kids’ amazement in that Shaq was in their neighborhood and wanted to participate in a pick-up basketball game.
