NBA Owner's Daughter -- I Can Get Shaq Outta Retirement ... To Rap!

It's been a while since Shaq got in the studio and laid down a rap -- but now, the daughter of an NBA owner tells TMZ Hollywood Sports she's confident she can convince the Big Fella to come out of retirement for one last verse.

Anjali World -- daughter of Sacramento Kings owner Vivek Ranadive -- appeared on "TMZ Hollywood Sports" (Mon-Fri on Reelz) and told us Shaq has been like a mentor to her in her pursuit of a singing career.

"Me and Shaq are hella-cool. He's actually really supportive of my music," Anjali said ... "when I was first starting out he gave me a lot of advice."

So, when we asked if there was a chance she could talk Shaq -- who also happens to be a part-owner of the Kings -- into dropping a verse on an upcoming single, Anjali says she'll have to talk to him about it ... but is VERY confident she could make it happen.

FYI -- it's been 22 years since Shaq's rap debut on "What's Up Doc? (Can We Rock) ... which sold more than 500,000 copies.
