Shaq VS is fun and unique
So I caught an episode of Shaq VS last night and I got to say I am somewhat impressed by his other athletic skills he has. I also like the concept of another athlete challenging other athletes in their sports. Last night it was Shaq vs. Albert Pujols in a home run contest. Here were the rules for the contest. Shaq’s handicap was that Shaq only has to hit the ball 250 feet to center. Pujols has to hit it 382 feet. Also, Shaq got ten outs per round, while Pujols got only five.
The Winner ended being Albert Pujols (Final Score: 16-10) but Albert gave Shaq a lot of credit and they both had a lot of fun with it. This was the third episode of it so far. The first episode was Shaq vs. Ben Roethlisberger. The challenge was a Quarterback challenge. Shaq’s handicap was that Shaq gets to start each possession at the 20-yard line while Ben must start at the 40-yard line. The Winner was Ben Roethlisberger in a very close battle. (Final Score: 21-14)
In the second episode Shaq along with some help challenged Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh to a Volleyball match. This time there was no handicap and Misty May and Kerri won the match (Final Score: 11-6, 11-8)
Next week on Shaq VS. he will take on Oscar Dela Hoya in a five round boxing match at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas. I am curious to see how this turns out. Also in two weeks he takes on Michael Phelps and their competition is unknown but I am sure we all know what it’s going to be about. Tune on ABC on Tuesday Nights at 9pm to find out if Shaq can hang with other athletes in different sports. I enjoy the trash talking as well as the friendliness of it all. It makes for great television and great fun.
