Shaquille O’Neal is known to be fond of being in the spotlight, which is why he is usually in front of the screen trying to expand his acting prowess. O’Neal’s love for acting and comedy is well known, and he has been in several movies and TV shows.
In 2001, Curb Your Enthusiasm shot the eighth episode of its second season, which featured Shaq as a guest star. The plot of the episode featured David watching the Los Angeles Lakers game from the stadium seats. During the episode, Shaq, who played himself, is about to enter the game.
On his way to the scorer’s table, Larry accidentally trips him. O’Neal made viewers laugh with the way he acted as if he was injured. In addition, it is known that the show does not have a script and the actors are only given scripts and it is up to them to do the rest of the scene.

Shaq was asked about the method of filming the episode. The former Lakers star has spoken out that the scene was his idea and that he instructed the famous comedian what to do while he was sitting on the court.
“I told him, Larry, put your foot in there, and I’ll do the rest,” O’Neal said. “I always wanted to be a stuntman when I was little, so I know how to fall.
“But when I got there, I was nervous. Because these guys are the real deal on TV. I don’t want to be the one who comes in and screws it up.”
The scene was shot perfectly, and Shaq didn’t disappoint. Others commented on how amazingly he acted in the scene, which added a nice touch to the show’s sense of humor.

In the NBA, Shaquille O’Neal is the only superstar with a lot of acting credits under his belt. Even if his acting skills are no match for Hollywood stars, Shaq knows a thing or two about playing a character on screen. This is why when he poked fun at Charles Barkley’s acting skills in “Space Jam,” he made some valid points.
“And I thought ‘Kazaam’ was bad. That was terrible!” Chuck said. “Wow! This is worse than ‘Kazaam’.”
Shaq may have done bad movies in the past, but it’s a good thing Chuck’s acting career was short-lived.
