Apparently ....... “If you buy Shaquille O’Neal's story, he ran out of ink one night, went to Staples, found an Epson printer with refillable ink and fell in love.”

And the rest was commercial magic .. also he needed to fill that “Gold Bond” slot with something.

That guy knows how to diversify his income. I have seen that as so much lately I read into him and what he endorses and he only does ads for things he believes in.

He's probably getting points on the side. He'll typically do cheap ads if he has a stake in the venture.
