For some, it’s easy to follow in Shaquille O’Neal’s footsteps, even when it’s not advisable.

Case in point: the new rap career of former NBA All-Star Steve Francis. The former player for the Rockets, Magic, and New York Nicks has released a rap song under the label “Mazerati Music” called “Finer Things.” With a low baritone delivery not unlike Ja Rule, Francis talks about—what else—champagne, fancy watches, and trips “overseas” in a private jet.
