At 7 feet, 1 inch tall, NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal is no stranger to large shoes, wearing a size 23 himself. So when he heard about a teen who was in need of large shoes, he took it upon himself to help the teen out.

Eighth-grader Zack Keith, a young basketball player from Georgia, already wears a size 18 shoe at just 13 years old. However, his mother is unable to afford the massive shoes that he desperately needs. When Hall-of-Famer Shaquille O'Neal heard about his plight, he could relate.
