The best thing that he's given me since the NBA is that he remains the same." -- Flo Allen-Hopson SHAQUILLE O'NEAL, <font color="Red">Miami Heat</font> "One of the greatest gifts Shaquille gave me was a wooden plaque that he made in his junior high school Industrial Arts class. The plaque read: LUCILLE'S KITCHEN. I kept it for over twenty years and my grandaughter was cooking one day and it got burned inside of my oven. This made me very sad because I loved the plaque so much! Shaquille was so proud that he made it with his hands and he loved the fact that he could do something so very special for me! I appreciate the fact that he cared enough for me to try and do something to celebrate Mother's Day. I will always love him for that ..." -- Lucille O'Neal</div> NBA.com
