Written By Kelli Maruca

NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal made approximately 500 students at Wesley Lakes Elementary School in McDonough very happy on Monday morning.

O'Neal and multiple community partners gave the students early Christmas gifts, including toys, jackets, socks, snacks, bicycles, $100 Walmart gift cards for all 5th grade students and more.

This was the 20th Shaq-A-Claus event, which started in 1997. O'Neal says that his mother is his inspiration for giving back to the community.
