Watch: Shaquille O'Neal imitates multiple characters from famous movies, trolls Charles Barkley mercilessly in NBA on TNT's latest Christmas video
If you're a fan of the Inside The NBA show on TNT, then you will have likely seen former Los Angeles Lakers superstar Shaquille O'Neal partake in different endeavors. The latest is Shaq re-enacting scenes from some of the most famous Christmas movies of all time.
The Big Fella hits the big-screen 🎅🏿🎬
@SHAQ recreated iconic Christmas Movie scenes https://t.co/392Kkl1a0g
Shaquille O'Neal can be seen recreating some of the most iconic scenes from movies like Love Actually, Home Alone and many more. Arguably the most iconic scene of all is the one from Home Alone, where Shaquille O'Neal acts as Macaulay Culkin's character Kevin.
Shaquille O'Neal and his movies
Shaquille O'Neal is one of the greatest players of all time, along with being a four-time champion and three-time Finals MVP. However, Shaq's movie-making and acting career hasn't quite hit the standards that his basketball career did and not for the lack of trying.
O'Neal's two best movies are without question Blue Chips and Kazaam. Shaq stars as one of the main characters in the former alongside the likes of Penny Hardaway Jr. and Nick Nolte. The likes of Larry Bird and Bob Cousy also made appearances in the film. This film earned a mixed reception from the audience.
Kaazam, on the other hand, was a much bigger success as the movie grossed over $19 million in the box office. Shaq plays the title character Kaazam, a genie who appears from a magic box to grant an adolescent boy three wishes.
