"What will I be doing for #MothersDay? Thanks to the #Fastfoto scanner, it will be mom, me, and our favorite memories…"
Fans in the comments didn't hesitate to admire the basketball legend and his mom. They had myriads of lovely words for the duo while anticipating Mothers' Day.

The socialite added that Shaq had basketball dreams from childhood, and they made sure he went to college as well.
According to The Source, Lucille once shared that her son's basketball dreams were valid, but she made sure that he didn't miss out on education. She told Scoop B that she and Shaq struck a deal after he made it to the NBA draft. She told the publication:
"We had a deal, you do this now and go back to school later… He needed to finish his college education…"
VC Star reports that Lucille was once a keynote speaker at the 15th Annual Great Futures for Kids Breakfast, where she opened up on her struggles while growing up, Enduring different vices, and eventually being a strong mom.
