Icon4 Shaquille O’Neal gifts custom Invicta watches to everyone at TNT

Nice gesture but...all that money burned could have given automatic Seiko 5’s to everyone.

You’re a Hall of Famer Ernie. Here’s your custom Invicta.

I have way more respect for Shaq as a good man, than as a basketball player (which he wasn't too bad at either. )

You all don't seem to understand.
The MSRP on those watches was well into the 4 digits.
AND they were part of a limited edition.

He probably has gifted nicer watches on different occasions. Giving invictas on TNT during all star weekend capturing the attention of desired target audience is genius marketing for the brand.

So, we can assume he hates the guys at TNT?

Or maybe it's a prank gift. That would make sense.

^^^ this. Shaq is all about paid promotion.

Think of it like the Emmys, as they each get $220,000 (!) gift bag for attending filled with stuff the manufacturer / brand hopes is seen being worn or recommended by the person. Wonder if any of them donate the gift bag proceeds to a non-profit or to pay for their climate efforts?

Good response.

Half a billion is broke? Those gifts are all in good condition and well appreciated.

More respect Shaq.

I bought a printer he is selling, what a piece of crap. Advertised as All-In-One, NO FAX. To print, you have to manually pull open the discharge tray. Crap I tell ya. When you call support, Shaq "answers" the phone, yells for some guy in the office to hurry up and pick up the line.
