Kings of Cinema

NBA stars are no strangers to the spotlight and entertaining fans worldwide with incredible performances, so it’s no surprise many have branched out to land supporting or even leading roles in blockbuster motion pictures.

As pilot Roger Murdock in the 1980 satirical comedy classic "Airplane," Kareem Abdul-Jabbar delivers an inspiring, show-stealing performance as a co-pilot, Michael Jordan teams up with Looney Tunes characters in the timeless “Space Jam,” and Kings Minority Owner Shaquille O’Neal’s cinematic credits include top billing as a rapping genie in “Kazaam."

Take a look at several noteworthy big-screen cameos by Kings players with SAG cards, as Chris Webber, Vlade Divac, Olden Polynice and more bring their charm, charisma and acting chops to Hollywood movies sets.
