Shaquille O'Neal has tried comedy, acting as well as rapping. Now he's placing all those skills under the test as a Lyft driver in Atlanta hidden under a bevy of wigs and beards.
He's Charles, the bracelet maker. He's Pierre (not French). He's Goose, a cop. He plays some sort of Jamaican dude whose favorite movie is "Kazam." He beat boxes. He provides tips to one woman on how to shoot a free throw. Then he does the 'big reveal."
Shaq spends a lot of time nowadays in Atlanta shooting his TNT "Inside the NBA" show and owns a $1.15 million estate here. He also does a podcast with 680/The Fan's John Kincade.
