Shaquille O’Neal relying on Home Depot

Shaq’s upbringing was never easy, he always had to earn everything, because of his military family background. So Shaq is used to doing and building things for himself. He recalls his go-to Home Depot store is in McDonough. During an interview with Complex, Shaquille O’Neal gives more information on what to expect from this collaboration.

But this campaign is always going to be about fun. You know Home Depot phrases and basketball phrases, kind of go side by side. For example, cleaning the glass, you know, stuff like that. So this series I’m doing, Home Depot is going to be called Tips from the Tool Shaq. And what I like about this commercial is that real people that work at Home Depot were in the spot with me. So it’s very cute. You know, sports fans and Home Depot fans are definitely I love it.

He was also asked what project he is undertaking in his personal project of 10 acres of land. Shaq said “I just built a guest house in the back of my house and I just bought the next door neighbor’s house, so I got 10 more acres. He was an older gentleman and his house is very old, so partner up with Home Depot to fix it up and it’s going to be beautiful.
