I’m just going to cut to the chase: Shaquille O’Neal went undercover as a Lyft driver.

Several athletes, including Danica Patrick, Richard Sherman, Jerry Rice and Kris Bryant, have posed as Lyft drivers for wacky videos. On a ride with a Brazillian man, O’Neal surprised everyone by belting out “Brigada!”
Remarkably some passengers actually seem unaware that one of the most recognizable former basketball players in the world is giving them a ride, and the 44-year-old pro seems delighted to keep up the ruse.
Some of the riders figured it out because it is a little tough to disguise yourself if you’re over 7 feet tall and a widely known celebrity.
In one exchange, O’Neal gives a passenger an impromptu lesson in how to free-throw.
“You know what? You just learned from the greatest free throw coach of all time”, the notoriously awful free throw shooter tells one straight-faced passenger after offering some game tips.

He even indulged in some freestyle rapping and beat boxing, telling a passenger that his favorite movie is “Kazaam”. Still, the National Basketball Association legend deserves kudos for his acting skills or even just for his awesome getups.
