Yerkebulan, a lifelong NBA enthusiast, fulfilled a dream he had harbored for years when he purchased three tickets for the NBA Abu Dhabi event scheduled for October 6th, 2022. Accompanied by his wife and son, anticipation filled the air as they entered the arena.

As they spotted Shaquille O'Neal conversing with Vince Carter, Isiah Thomas, and Dominique Wilkins nearby, Yerkebulan seized the opportunity to seek an autograph from the towering icon.

However, their path was blocked by a vigilant security guard. Undeterred, Yerkebulan encouraged his son to approach Shaq with a hug, hoping to capture a moment of proximity with his idol. Despite the guard's initial intervention, Shaq's discerning eye caught wind of the gesture, prompting him to extend a warm invitation for a photo with the excited young fan.
