NBA Legend Shaquille O’Neal Hilariously Reveals Why He Pays $1,000 to Get a PEDICURE and Paint His Toenails: ‘I Like Sparkles and Patterns!’

When asked how much he pays for pedicures, Shaquille O’Neal revealed not only the price but also what he pays and why.

On an episode of The Big Podcast, the NBA legend shared why he pays around $1,000 to get a pedicure and paint his toenails.

‘I give about $1,000. Because I know my feet stink. I know they are ugly. And I like to paint them. “I paint that sh*t because it’s ugly.” O’Neal revealed.

When asked if he normally wears solid colors or patterns, O’Neal revealed that he gets creative to compensate for his “ugly feet.”

“I like the sparkles and the designs and all that,” she shared. “Just to make it look pretty because I have ugly, stinky feet.”

Additionally, the Hall of Famer shared that he had a memorable performance on the court when he painted his nails for the first time and has done so ever since.

‘True story. I once had my toenail pulled out. And I wasn’t going to play in the game. My mom said, ‘Baby, why don’t you play?’ I thought, ‘I tore off my toenail.’

So she did something and put some red polish on it. And I had 40 (points) that game. So I thought, ‘You know what? “I’m going to start painting my toenails.”

The six-footer had a legendary career in the NBA, winning three titles with the Los Angeles Lakers and another with the Miami Heat. He also served the Orlando Magic, Phoenix Suns, Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics with a dominant presence before retiring in 2011.

O’Neal also made 15 All-Star selections, won the MVP award in 2000 and was crowned Finals MVP during his championship run with Los Angeles.
