Which sports star has been the best actor?

Question

Wilt Chamberlain in Conan the Destroyer
Michael Jordan in Space Jam
Ray Allen, Shaq or Penny Hardaway

My nod goes to Wilt the Stilt because he didn't play a basketball player, he had to ste outside of the box and play a different role.  But I am interested to see who else you come up with.

Jordan

Ray Allen wasn't too bad.  

Shaq turned serious movies into comedies... so he was a decent actor - mistakenly.  

Wilt was cool.

But I give it to Kareem Abdul Jabbar.  Not only in his big role as Bruce Lee's main rival in Game of Death... but also in Airplane and his smaller TV roles.

To tell you the truth, O.J. Simpson was damn funny in the naked gunn movies and so was Kareem in Airplane.  I also really liked Jim Brown in I'm Gonna Get You Sucka and other movies.  On your list Ray Allen was pretty good.  I got a good one for you though, Tony Siragoosa was damn good in 25th hour!
