Shaquille O'Neal sat down with Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday night to discuss the unveiling of his new statue outside Staples Center, and also outed himself as a very generous tipper.

The TNT host said that when he goes out to eat, he'll ask his server how much of a tip they want. The biggest request he ever received was $4,000, which he happily paid.

"It was a young lady," O'Neal told Kimmel. "She said, 'Oh my god, you're gonna pay my rent for two months.'"
