The NBA’s favorite giant is now known for his business acumen and how he always knows where to put his money.

The 4x NBA champion has confessed that he spends a lot of money while he shops online. However, his preferred online shopping outlet recently cut short their association. Although the Big Man is popular among the masses, the company has decided to discontinue their partnership.
