Shaquille O’Neal is commanding the spotlight even after retiring. The four-time NBA champion has a $400 million empire under his watch. Moreover, his love for basketball keeps him connected as an analyst on TNT. The Big Diesel has also started his podcast, ‘The Big Podcast’.

Shaquille O’Neal calls Nischelle cheap

On the recent episode of his podcast, Shaq busted a bug rumor. The Big Diesel admitted to maybe gifting a 25-year-old LeBron James a brand new Rolls Royce. Spice Adams pointed out his and Turner’s 64 podcast episodes with the legendary center. Likewise, Shaq wanted to hook them up with presents.  And his giving eyes first fell on Turner. The Los Angeles Lakers legend held up a pricey gift offering the host a diamond watch. But Turner had another necessity in her mind.

Surprisingly, Turner showed no interest. What the renowned television personality wanted was a printer. And Shaq was disgusted.
He said: “I hate CRAP. Cheap rich ass people. If you move that damn camera around, you see that mansion that she is sitting in. This woman built a mansion, didn’t even live in it, sold it and bought another mansion. Want to talk about a sh*t damn printer that you can buy that for $249.”

While Shaq’s offer for a diamond watch was arguably more lavish, the Los Angeles Lakers legend has some ties with Epson. As a tech geek, he admitted to buying 20 of their printers for his own house. Partnering with the tech giants, he is on board as the brand technology ambassador. Performing in commercials and promoting the brand, Shaquille O’Neal might not have any problems in arranging for a printer for Nischelle.
