    There are some NBA players who can act.

    KG and Marques Johnson were good

    Ray Allen was good in He's Got Game. Kareem Abdul Jabbar in Air Plane. Wilt in Conan the Barbarian. Gheorghe Muresan in My Giant.

    MJ vs Lebron in the space Jam movies is a good argument. MJ was better I think. Lebron can act better than I thought though. He can't act cry.

    Shaq has been in a lot of movies. He's not a good actor. He's gotten better though. He has fun with it. I loved Kazaam when I was younger. He was terrible in it. Steel was probably one of my favorites of his. A 90s super hero movie so terribly made, but I liked it. Him and Penny were good in Blue Chips. He is hilarious in the Grown ups movies.


    Kevin Durant is terrible in Thunderstruck


    Darius Miles was in The Perfect Score and Van Wilder. Not great.



    A lot of players make cameos in other movies like Eddie, Like Mike, etc where they are on teams, but not a lot of acting. Though Rick Fox and John Salley were alright in Eddie.

    Rick Fox was alright, from what I remember, in Oz.

    Chuck Connors played for the Celtics. Rifleman could act.

    Speaking of acting, Melo and Chris Bosh had cameos on Law & Order SVU.

    Not just Warriors fans, even some sports media are talking about Warriors getting Dame e Kevin Love without giving up assets.

    Reminds me of…

    Nancy Astor: “If you were my husband I’d poison your tea”
    Winston Churchill: “Madam, if you were my wife - I’d drink it!”

    I remember this like it was yesterday: it was such a Trader Bob move (and I HATED it)


    ...and then he compounded it by trading Anderson AND ALVIN WILLIAMS for Mighty Mouse. If he hadn't've signed Anderson, we would've kept Williams and won MULTIPLE CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!!

    Kenny was pretty mediocre at that point, and Alvin was a role player at best.
