A handful of athletes have successfully crossed into the music world over the years.
The late Wayman Tisdale enjoyed a successful career as a jazz bassist after playing in the NBA for 12 years. Basketball Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal released four rap albums, including “Shaq Diesel,” which sold more than 1 million copies. Pitcher Adam Wainwright sang the national anthem before the Cardinals’ opening-day game this season.
Now, we have another gifted athlete/musician waiting in the wings.
