Cameo has become a fun way for people to purchase videos as gifts – either to loved ones or themselves – from their favorite celebrities or athletes.

Cameo has even hit the NBA, with fans having the ability to order video shoutouts from some of their favorite former or current players.

Those shoutouts may not come cheap, however.

Below, check out the most expensive video shoutouts you can buy from NBA players, led by Tony Allen, who’s charging $1,000 per personalized video. For comparison, JaVale McGee, the most expensive current active player on Cameo, is charging a mere $600 per clip.

WATCH: Eric Stonestreet returns as Randy Reid, little brother of Chiefs HC Andy Reid

Andy Reid’s long lost brother Randy made an appearance at #Chiefs training camp in August, ruffling feathers in hopes of securing himself a Super Bowl ring. | from @TheJohnDillon

Making his second appearance in a cameo role at Kansas City Chiefs training camp in St. Joseph, Randy Reid took some time away from his jet ski and drone sales business to help the team prepare for their season.

Presumably head coach Andy Reid’s younger brother, Randy is a Chiefs superfan, traveling to camp all the way from Oxnard, California with chile relleno burritos in tow for his big brother. While Andy seemed pleased to reunite with Randy after missing their connection last year due to COVID-19 protocols, the rest of the team wasn’t as enthused.

Randy’s main point of contention in his visit was an effort to get a Super Bowl ring from the 2019 campaign in which he constantly reiterated this year that he was part of the team’s success. General manager Brett Veach made his feelings on the subject known, rebuffing him in no uncertain terms.

“Give Randy a ring?” Veach said, fuming after the younger Reid’s antics in practice, “I’d like to wring his neck.”

Perhaps Randy Reid is the Chiefs’ lucky charm, but coaches and players were clearly taken aback by his presence at camp. Between constant drone flights, towel snaps, and unwarranted pointers given by Randy during practice, it seems Andy might’ve needed to reign him in a bit before his distraction caused a scene.

As Kansas City’s regular season opener approaches, Randy Reid could make appearances later in the team’s schedule. Actor Eric Stonestreet, the man behind the (fake) mustache, is a Chiefs fanatic and a Kansas City native, so his attendance to the new GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium is sure to provide ample opportunity for more hijinks and buffoonery, especially with a more lax COVID-19 protocol in place this year.

The video above is his first appearance with the team since 2019, and signals that his saga is still just beginning. Could Randy Reid be the Chiefs’ breakout star in 2021?

As we have covered, Michigan State players have been using the new NIL rules to great advantage and in some fun, exciting ways since the new rules were passed last week. This week, a current Spartan and a former Spartan both joined the paid video platform Cameo.

On Wednesday night, Malik Hall announced that he is joining the platform. This came a day after former Spartan Foster Loyer announced that he is joining it. Cameo is a personalized video platform where you can buy a video message from your favorite athlete, actor, musician, etc.

WATCH: Texas RB Bijan Robinson does a Cameo for an Oklahoma fan

Texas RB Bijan Robinson was a good sport for an Oklahoma fan who paid $100 for a Cameo.

Texas running back Bijan Robinson appeared on Cameo shortly after the NIL rules were put into place on July 1.

For $100, fans can now receive a personalized video from Robinson. Although there will likely be hundreds of Longhorn fans interested in receiving a video from one of college football’s top playmakers, it was actually an Oklahoma Sooners fan that was one of the first to pay Texas’ star running back.

Unfortunately for the Sooners fan, the full request was not fulfilled. It was all in good rivalry fun, though. The fan asked Robinson to say “This goes out to the Big 12 kings” and requested for him to sing the Boomer Sooner fight song.

Robinson was a great sport and certainly polite, but he didn’t have the heart to vocally call Oklahoma the Big 12 kings nor sing their fight song. He instead voiced his appreciation for the Cameo request and mentioned how he’s looking forward to facing Oklahoma this season.

Of course, Robinson ended the Cameo video with a “hook ’em” gesture. For Texas fans, it’s exactly what you’d want to see from one of their players. He clearly bleeds burnt orange.

LOOK: Sean Payton on set for ‘Home Team’ cameo with Kevin James

New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton was spotted by TMZ Sports in costume for a cameo on the “Home Team” Netflix film set with Kevin James.

Sean Payton’s 2012 suspension from the NFL has become the subject of a Netflix feature starring Kevin James from Adam Sandler’s Happy Madison Productions, and the New Orleans Saints coach has given the team more than his blessing — he’s dressing up for a cameo, as seen in a TMZ Sports photo gallery from the “Home Team” film set.

The story centers on Payton’s experience coaching his son’s Pop Warner team while suspended following the NFL’s “Bountygate” debacle, in which the Super Bowl-winning coach dealt with frustrations like working with children and the complex single wing offense; Payton later joked about calling his mentor Bill Parcells and peer Jon Gruden for advice.

As for Payton’s cameo: we’re short on details, but he appears to be wearing a mechanic’s uniform (codename: Lionel) and one of the worst wigs I’ve ever seen. If he was trying to one-up Drew Brees’ getup for Undercover Boss a few years back, he fell far short of the mark. Maybe his acting chops can make up for it.

A birthday greeting from Sergio Garcia? It’s one of the things you can get on Cameo

Cameo allows you to request a personalized message from your favorite golfer like John Daly, Lexi Thompson, or Sergio Garcia.

Have you ever wanted a personalized message from pro golfers Lexi Thompson or perhaps John Daly?

You can make that desire a reality through Cameo. 

Cameo is a website and app that allows you to request personalized messages from all your favorite celebrities, including several PGA Tour and LPGA pros.

Launched in 2017, Cameo has increased in popularity over the years with more than 30,000 celebrities currently on the platform. 

Fans can request a birthday wish, joke, advice and much more.

Among the golfers, prices can range from $750 for a message from John Daly to $110 for Golf Channel’s Blair O’Neal to $5 for trick-shot artist Mathias Schjoelberg. 

Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, David Duval and Graeme McDowell are among the roster of golfers you can choose from. McDowell is using Cameo for good: His page says all proceeds go to the G-Mac Foundation.

The platform has a new feature where you can direct message your favorite celebrity for a fee. Not every celebrity has to opt-in to this feature, but it is generally less expensive than the traditional video messages.

Texans fans can purchase personal video messages from players past and present

Thanks to Cameo, Houston Texans fans can purchase personal video messages from former and current players and coaches.

One of the great aspects of the digital age is it has built bridges between fans and athletes, and Cameo is another one of those spans.

The internet startup allows fans of sports and entertainment to pay for personal video messages, and the Houston Texans have a presence on the site.

For instance, for $45 Texans fans could arrange a personal video message from tight end Darren Fells, who caught seven touchdown passes in 2019, tied with DeAndre Hopkins for the most on the team.

Fans can even get personal messages from the Houston Texans Cheerleaders, Toro, play-by-play voice Marc Vandermeer, and other Texans TV personalities.

The most expensive Texans player in Cameo’s lineup is third-year receiver Keke Coutee at $300. The most affordable Texans player is receiver Isaac Whitney at $15.

According to CNN, Cameo has over 30,000 celebrities on its roster with over one million requests. The company makes 25% off of each message purchased.
