I thought that was hilarious. Truehoop said it better than BDL:

Quote from: Truehoop
Shaquille O'Neal's 1996 rapping genie basketball movie was -- shocker -- pretty bad. The most recommended comment on IMDB includes the phrase "never see this movie".

Why did one of the best players in NBA history agree to do it?

In a (PG-13) interview with GQ's Mark Anthony Green, O'Neal explains:
 
Quote
  I was a medium-level juvenile delinquent from Newark who always dreamed about doing a movie. Someone said, "Hey, here's $7 million, come in and do this genie movie."

What am I going to say, no?

Simple as that.

of course, is anyone surprised? Shaq is an entertainer, no reason to bring it back up. A lot of respect to Shaq imo

Would have been more appropriate for him to play one of the Klumps.

Would've been interesting for him to explain why he didn't portray an NBA basketball player the last 3 years of his career.

He's an old school, new school phantom.

Love the fact that above this thread is a thread about Shaq being in a new Adam Sandler movie.

Can't knock the hustle.
