You might be thinking Damon Wayans must have a lot of pull because Michael Jordan doesn't make many cameos and if he does it probably comes with a price equal to the entire cast of a TV sitcom. He does but the reason why the GOAT appeared on MY WIFE AND KIDS is because he's friends and ex-neighbors with the legendary comedian. In the hilarious episode from the show's fifth season titled FANTASY CAMP, Wayans' character gets to play a game of one-on-one with his idol at the Michael Jordan Senior Flight School.
Shaq's appearance on the show seemed a little less scripted and just an excuse for the KAZAAM and STEEL actor to do his normal ad lib routine.
LeBron didn't even have a speaking part in his cameo. The episode is about Wayan's character trying to escape the flu from a sick household so he can see the Knicks/Cavs game. He ends up going and shakes LeBron's hand after sneezing in it which causes LeBron to get sick and miss the game.
