Detroit — Ex-NBA star Shaquille O’Neal has apologized to a Detroit man with
a rare disorder for making fun of his appearance in an online post.
Best known as Shaq, the former NBA player announced the apology in a Twitter
message Tuesday.
“Made a new friend today when I called and apologized to Jahmel Binion.
Great dude,” the tweet said.
O’Neal followed up Wednesday with a tweet that said: “Had the opportunity
to talk to Jahmel Binion yesterday and apologize about the post on IG!”
O’Neal spokesman Rishi Daulat told The Associated Press on Wednesday that O’
Neal personally wrote the tweets. Daulat declined further comment.
Binion has ectodermal dysplasia, which affects his face, teeth and hair. He
told MLive.com he was “confused” when O’Neal posted a picture on Instagram
showing him making a face imitating Binion.
“I was thinking ‘Man, he’s supposed to be this role model, someone
everyone is supposed to look up to. If Shaq does something like this,’”
Binion said, everyone who follows him “will think, ‘We should do this.’ ”
The post was later taken down. AP left an email message for Binion on
Wednesday afternoon seeking his reaction to O’Neal’s call.
The National Foundation for Ectodermal Dysplasias wrote an open letter Monday
to O’Neal saying “bullying is never acceptable.”
O’Neal, 42, was drafted by the Orlando Magic in 1992 out of Louisiana State.
He later played for the Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat, Phoenix Suns,
Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics, retiring in 2011. The Lakers won
three straight NBA championships with him in 2000-02.
Shaq前几天在他的intagram上面PO了一张照片
他在照片中模仿那位男子的脸
那底特律男子Jahmel Binion有一种脸部的疾病
该疾病造成他脸部变形并影响他的毛发和牙齿
Jahmel知道这件事时感到很震惊
他说他原本觉得Shaq应该当作一个模范
如果他开始做这样的事大家也会开始模仿他
Jahmel写信给Shaq询问他为何这样做
不久后Shaq便把这张照片删除
Shaq最近在twitter上PO了一条说
他对Jahmel道歉了并结交一个新的朋友
