Not Oscar material for sure, but he held his own.
I can only imagine how cringey it would be to see Tom Brady or Peyton Manning acting in a movie about themselves.
That being said --- Shaquille O'Neal's acting chops blew away anything Ali or Jordan did in a movie LOL.
No, it wasn't half bad, it was ALL bad. Absolutely couldn't get any worse.
give me a stage where this bull here can rage and though I can fight I'd much rather recite.
They held auditions for actors to play Ali at the time, but it was rationalized that Ali was too well known and too distinct a personality that only the real Ali could play the part of Muhammad Ali.
I think he does a more than adequate part here. He was as they say, a genius for the role.
