How Shaq Protected His Purest Teammate (Mark Madsen) | @FairGame8974 #shorts
Shaquille O’Neal talks about his ex-Laker teammate Mark “Mad Dog” Madsen and how their friendship developed from Shaq protecting Mark from the dark side of the NBA. Mark Madsen was a devout Mormon and was not interested in the extra curriculars that the NBA lifestyle offered and Shaq took it upon himself to make sure that Mark was shielded from those that did partake.

My mom literally used to babysit Mark Madsen. They both grew up as Mormons in Danville, CA. She is 11 years older than him.
Shaq saw the innocence in him being that he wasn’t just blowing his money and messing with all the hoes. 👏🏽respectable to keep him on track
kids need to look up to good morals not money & clout
Paul George bruh 😂
This stupid fucking song and Shaq being Shaq have me acting a fool
Shaq dumped buckets of his own sht and piss on rookies
❤ This 👏🏼 👏🏼 Shaq and Mark 😊
Love me some Shaq.
Real talk. Both ways. Shaq genuine too though y'all.
😊 Shaq has always seemed pretty cool, wish I could meet him but wouldn't want it to seem weird though so it's just nice hearing about the nice stuff he's done… 🙂🙂
Shaq is a good guy it seems but his "thousand dollar suits" were horrific. I never understood those long dress jackets. People really thought they were flossing when a lot of people were making fun of them. But Shaq is the man. Seems like a great human being.
Couple of sweethearts being good friends to each other. We need more guys like these two.
Love this kind of content
Yeah because he’s not trash. He doesn’t have a garbage culture. All the other guys had a the culture of an ignorant human.
Shaq is one of the best humans on the planet.
Proof god sends people to protect you when you’re doing the right thing
MJ ain't the goat. He hates his fans and teammates.
Shaq is the real goat on and off the field
Humble Baby… Very HUMBLE…. GREAT JOB SIRR…. STAY THAT WAY. AINT TOO MANY LIKE US OUT HERE.
Where was your PR person when you were playing? Disliked you then love you now !
Nah Shaq, you’re the purest guy ever
Shaq is a good dude that takes no shit, Mark is a good dude that is pure and innocent and will let you get away with shit because his eq is probably through the roof.
Purest idk whitest yeah
I salute both of these men. Each of them is a great example in their own way. I’m not surprised that they’re good friends.
It's funny how some of us can be kind of bad at times and yet still feel the need to protect innocence. Probably because our innocence was ripped away so we cherish it when we find it in others.
Shaq loves the lil ppl and treats his great teammates of the past like shit.
I’m wearing a Shaq jersey while I’m watching this. Crazy.
Amazing
that dance says it all
Real freind
Tt why ppl like lamelo shldnt deserve fans like, dude care more in his tatts and jewellery then the ball
So he’s going to wait to talk to other women until he gets married? Seems like a stand up guy…. 😂
Leadership
That was sweet on both sides.
But what I'm caught up on is he walks in and gets half off a man that could easily afford to pay whatever the cost is. However some other dude that only his mama and girlfriend knows him walks in has to pay full price lol I get it but I don't
Shaq is sooo cool
Shaq is the best thing that happened to planet earth.
He waited until he got married thats a man with Christian values what a great guy shaq is
Mad Dog is such a crazy name for the gentlest dude
what kind of weird filter is on this entire video?
Mark Madsen probably had a great time playing for the Timberwolves. He'd fit in there in Minnesota
I’m the same way, I value true humble friends, always good to keep em around and protect em 💙
Shaq with the heart of gold..that’s why we in LA love shaq..🙏
Shaq is 1 the purest men in Hollywood. Black, white, yellow, brown, he what a man is n should be. His story…. Great job sir and thank you for giving back to all those hearts you touched. Great Job!
