Yet, when Shaquille O'Neal, 50, offered to completely remodel the Orlando, Fla., home of his beloved Uncle Roy for CBS's "Secret Celebrity Renovation,"

the selfless "true uncle," who housed O'Neal's family in 1992 when the rookie was drafted to the Orlando Magic, politely declined.

"When I asked him at first, he said 'no.' I had to get my mom, the oldest sibling," O'Neal says. "She talked to him and made him do it."

Shaq: I watch some renovation shows and when I see the reveal, that's no renovation. I don't know if there's a word above luxury,

but that's exactly what this renovation is. Like his stove, refrigerator and wood trimmings, I don't have those in any of my mansions. This was something else.
