Since retiring from the NBA, Shaquille O'Neal has had his hands full shilling everything from Gold Bond to Icy Hot and General Insurance.
Shaq spoke about his many business ventures in an interview with "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel" that will air Tuesday night on HBO. During one segment, he was asked if he's "making more money selling stuff and endorsing stuff and investing in stuff" than he did in salary during his playing days, to which he responded yes, according to Alex Putterman of Awful Announcing.
The NBA Hall of Famer also insisted that he only endorses products he personally likes.
"If I'm going to sell it to the people, I gotta be honest with the people," he said.
