Shaq Takes On The Best Athletes In The World
ABC must have read my post on the Top 5 NBA Players Who Need A Reality Show because on August 18, Shaq’s newest reality show, “Shaq Vs.” will premier at 9:00 PM EST. The show will feature Shaq going heads up against other professional athletes in their respective sports – many of whom he recruited on Twitter.
Filming begins Wednesday in Pittsburgh, where Shaq takes on Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in football. Future hour-long episodes will pit him against Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, retired boxer Oscar De La Hoya, St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols, tennis pro Serena Williams and beach volleyball Olympians Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh.
This show is going to be hilarious yet disturbing at the same time. One minute we will see De La Hoya giving Shaq the business in the ring, and the next minute we will see Shaq in a bathing suit – definitely not a good look.
What are your thoughts?

If Shaq goes all out this will be great. If not this will be sad like watching Joe Frazier trying to swim on Wide World of Sports.

My prediction: he injures himself trying to return a Serena serve and Lebron cusses him out like he was he was his mom.

he says something like “people want to see atheletes try to play other sports”, i think the “people” meant GOOD atheletes, not washed up 7′2″ 900 lb 42 yr olds against others in their primes.
#1 hit it on the head, DUMB! i bet it doesnt make it past 1-2 episodes. maybe shaq should go on pros vs joes.

DH says:
Yo,
I wanna see him take on Lesnar. They better save that for the season finale because it’ll be over after that.
@ rangerjohn – Would he be the pro or the joe?

rangerjohn says:
DH
actually he called out hong man choi who happens to actually be bigger then shaq, and a K-1 level striker.
i guess he would have to be the joe, but he better bring his a game because some of thoes pros are tough LOL

the cynic says:
shaq would tear up Hong man Choi. Even at his ancient basketball age Shaq is 5 times more mobile then Hong Man Choi along with a much better ground game
