Shaquille O’Neal shares making an unusual move to feel young again: “I spent a million dollars on s**t I ain't even gonna wear”

"Generous" is one word that could describe Shaquille O'Neal as he's one of the most giving celebrities today. In an attempt to make himself feel young again, Shaq had a little help from his finances to give him a youthful vibe once more.

On his show, "The Big Podcast," O'Neal talked about how he pampered himself at Christmas.

"I went crazy on jewelry this summer. Crazy," O'Neal said. "Just guess the price you think I spent on jewelry this Christmas: 770(K). I bought those cubic chain things, just trying to be young, but you know, I don't want to be young anymore. I'm embracing my oldness, and I'm starting off with this. This is the haircut that I'm rocking for the rest of the year.

"I want to be 50, and I'm tired of being young, so I'm embracing being old, and this is what I'm doing. I'm debuting it tonight, and I'm never cutting it again.

"I'm in the store with all these damn rappers, and they coming in and I'm like, 'I know these dudes don't make more than me. How much (for) that chain? Oh, give me the chain!' Like, I just went crazy for no reason. I knew it was dumb. I spent a million dollars on shit I ain't even gonna wear. So, now I'm embracing being old."

It was the holidays after all when O'Neal spent the money on himself, so we're guessing it's OK? The iconic big man is wealthy enough to splurge money on himself, anyway. He can also always sell the stuff he buys that he doesn't want to some of his rapper friends or players in the NBA.

What Shaquille O'Neal does when he gets ejected

A few days ago, the attention of fans was directed towards the Miami Heat after a heated verbal argument between Dewayne Dedmon and coach Erik Spoelstra. Dedmon was thrown out of the game at its height. On his way to the locker room, he hit a chair on the team's bench, which caused a massage gun to fly over the basketball court.

The game between the Miami Heat and the OKC Thunder was on-going when that happened. As soon as the massage gun landed on the court, the game was stopped to check on what happened. Luckily, no one was hurt and Dedmon was given a one-game suspension after the issue.

Shaquille O'Neal, who has had his fair share of ejections while still playing, shared how he dealt with ejections.
