There are a lot of players who have tried their luck in Hollywood. Some were decent while others came to a point where they hated their own movie. Uncle Drew, released in 2018, had most of its cast full of NBA legends. Shaquille O’Neal played the role of Big Fella in the movie.
Though this wasn’t Shaq’s only major film. O’Neal has done the most movies as an NBA player. Shaq did not just try to test his acting skill, but he went all in. After doing about 30 films, Shaq and Spice Adams rated 3 of O’Neal’s movies.

In a recent episode of The Big Podcast with Shaq, Spice Adams rated 3 of Shaq’s movies, though his order was not expected. Blue Chips, Shaq’s first movie, was released in 1994. It was based on a coach who was trying to recruit the best talent after struggling to win games. Kazaam was another one of Shaq’s movies, released in 1996 starred Shaq as a genie. After this, Shaq decided to add a little action to his acting, as he went on to do a superhero movie, Steel, in 1997.

“I’ll start Blue Chips, I cut Kazaam and I cut Steel.”, said Spice. Adams said that to Shaq right on made him laugh. “Damn, 2 cuts, okay, all good.”, said O’Neal. It is true that Blue Chips is better than the two other movies as its IMDb ratings are higher than both. At this point, Shaq had to laugh it off. The three movies were all from the 90s and Shaq had really moved on from it. What’s interesting is that Blue Chips has a better rating than Uncle Drew.
