Former Lakers basketball player Shaquille O’Neal is reprising his role as Buick pitchman in a new LaCrosse television commercial titled “More Than I Expected”, which is the latest in the brand’s “You Don’t Know Buick” campaign, set to air this weekend.

Along with the commercial, there’s a behind-the-scenes clip with the 7 foot 1 inch tall, 325 pounds (147 kilos) giant talking or rather, promoting the car and the ad.

This will likely be the last commercial Shaq does for the current Buick LaCrosse, as according to an Autoblog.com report, General Motors will reveal a facelifted version of the mid-sized sedan together with the updated Regal at the 2013 New York International Auto Show at the end of this month.

We had the opportunity to get a sneak peek of the 2014 LaCrosse’s refreshed looks through an undisguised prototype of the China-market model, which is more or less identical to the North American specification version.
