" But when someone is toxic, they're pretty much going to be toxic for their whole life" Words of wisdom right there, it costs me a great deal of self inflicted pain, confusion and frustration to accept that maxim. As it pertains to Shaq, you can tell that this demon of envy is stopping him from being content. He always needs to bring up his own success and career in conversations about other players or team, even the other panelists have to sometimes remind him that the conversation has nothing to do with him, it's all about him.
While he is "charitable", he never fails to mention, film, post about the things that he's doing for other people, from personal experience with close relatives that is also a way for envious people to hide their envy, but they blow their cover by always having to broadcast or tell about what they do for other people, to make themselves look better.
He will also presume to challenge and try to "motivate" young stars in the league by bullying them when really he is spewing his envy. The last example in date is how often he brought up the fact that Rudy Gobert signed a max deal. You can't help envious and jealous people, anything you'll do will be misinterpreted, that's why you remove yourself and don't give them any energy.
