8 Terrible Movies Starring NBA Players

Basketball players are not actors. That's pretty obvious. So naturally, when an NBA player is cast in a movie, they're performances aren't all that great. And when the performances in a movie are bad, then that usually means the movie is bad. And that's what this list is full of, awful movies with basketball players in roles. Now, when I say that, I'm not counting movies where NBA players make quick cameos as themselves, so movies like Jack & Jill and Grown Up 2 (as terrible as they are) are obviously excluded. Also, as much as I'm pretty sure no likes Amy Schumer, Trainwreck (which also stars LeBron James) is not on here, as I've never seen it and it has a 86% on Rotten Tomatoes, so it seems like a lot of people genuinely like this movie. So with that out of the way, here are 8 terrible movies starring NBA players. Kazaam Few players in the history of the NBA have had as colorful a personality as Shaquille O'Neal. With that in mind, it's ...

As I've written about before, not every record you can hold is a good one. I've already taken a look at 7 of those bad records , so here are 7 more. Let's get right into this, these are 7 more unfortunate NBA records. Shaquille O'Neal Record: Most Free Throws Attempted in a Game Without a Make Starting off this list we have a Hall of Famer and one of the greatest centers in the history of basketball, Shaquille O'Neal. Drafted with the 1st overall pick in the 1992 NBA Draft by the Orlando Magic, Shaq spent 19 years creating a legacy for himself few could match. Over his career, O'Neal won four championships, an MVP in 2000, the Rookie of the Year in 1993, and three Finals MVPs, lead the league in scoring twice and in shooting percentage 10 times, and was selected to the all-star game 15 times, the All-NBA 1st Team eight times, and the All-Defensive 2nd Team three times. Shaq basically did it all during his career, but there is one thing that he was noto...

7 Times the NBA Crossed-Over with Professional Wrestling

Anyone who's followed my old blog or follows me on Twitter knows that along with basketball and terrible jokes only your dad likes, one of my other loves is professional wrestling. I used to have a blog about it, but I've since turned all my attention to this blog. However, with WrestleMania 34 right around the corner (not to mention the fact that today is Rusev Day of all days), I'm going back to my roots and looking at some of the times the NBA & professional wrestling crossed paths. Some were great, some were awful, but here are 7 times the NBA crossed-over into the squared circle. Shaquille O'Neal Starting off this list is one of the few basketball players to ever step in a wrestling ring and actually compete in a match. In 2009, O'Neal appeared on Monday Night RAW during a time where every week, RAW had a celebrity guest host, such as megastars Jeremy Piven, Verne Troyer, and Al Sharpton. It was a truly awful time to be alive. One of the first cele...
