Brent Barry daringly wore a ‘Kazaam’ pin while sitting next to Shaq on live TV

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Shaq was joined by a ghost of his past during TNT’s broadcast of Clippers vs. Knicks on Monday night.

Brent Barry was extremely excited to be wearing a Kazaam lapel pin as a subtle reminder of that time Shaq actually played a genie in one of the worst-rated movies of all time on Rotten Tomatoes.

The best part isn’t that Barry rocked the pin. It’s that there’s a company that makes bizarre lapel pins like this. Patti Lapel is making some really neat stuff, and here are some of the best sports-related ones it offers:

Wearing that lapel pin was a power move by Barry with Shaq right next to him, and for that he deserves some praise.
