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

On an episode of The Big Podcast, the NBA legend shared why he pays about $1,000 to get pedicures and his toenails painted.

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

When asked if he usually gets solid colors or designs, O’Neal revealed that he gets creative to make up for his ‘ugly feet.’

‘I do like sparkles and designs and all that stuff,’ he shared. ‘Just to make it look pretty because I have ugly, stinky feet.’

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

‘True story. One time, I had a toenail that was torn off. And I wasn’t going to play in the game. My mom was like, ‘Baby, why you not playing in the game?’ I was like, ‘I torn my toenail off’.

‘So she did something and she put some red polish on the thing. And I had 40 [points] that game. So I was like, ‘You know what? I’m just gonna start painting my toenails.”

The seven-footer went on to have a legendary NBA career, 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 his dominant presence before retiring in 2011.

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