The athletes help ruin this film

Guyfromjerzee,

Come on man, are you serious? Had they just got regular actors would this film had made what it did? The main draw to this film was Shaq and Penny! I for one wouldn't have seen it had they not been in it. Not that this film smashed the box office, but this flick woulda did a damn hell of alot worse without them.

Just as the other poster said, it's easier to teach an athelete to act, than it is to teach an actor to be an athlete. Think about it, who would you rather see in a B-A-S-K-E-T-B-A-L-L MOVIE? Shaq and Penny, authentic pro ballers, or some random black actors? Look at how bad Omar Epps looked during the ball scenes for Love & Basketball, you could tell the man can't play. I thought that Shaq and Penny did a great job with the acting, what more did you want? What did you expect, an Oscar performance?

Ok so you're in charge of making Blue Chips Guyfromjerzee. Who actors do u have instead of Shaq/Penny? I personally cannot name a single actor that can play ball, with the exception of Duane Martin.

Stonefaced actors, lol. People saw this movie cuz Shaq and Penny are sick ballers (at the time,lol) Who sees this, except you of course, for their acting? For the purpose of this movie, their balling in the movie WAS their acting. And that's why people went to see it.
