Shaquille O’Neal, the one-man circus, also regarded as a basketball star, actor and musician, is ready to take on his new reality TV show. “Shaq Vs.” is set to air on ABC in August 2009 where Shaq will compete against other professional athletes in their respective sports. The cast of competitors includes Olympic gold medalist swimmer Michael Phelps, Super Bowl winning quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, tennis legend Serena Williams, boxing’s Golden Boy prize fighter Oscar de la Hoya, Reigning National League Baseball MVP Albert Pujols and Olympic beach volleyball gold medalists Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor.  The series will closely follow Shaq and his athletic adversary throughout the rigorous training process and the pre-game hype, including press conferences and interviews, all leading up to the final competition. To level the playing field, O’Neal will negotiate a handicap with his opponent and train with a coach for one week leading up to each challenge.
“These athletes may be on top of their game, but I am up for the challenge,” said O’Neal. “I plan to train hard and win, so look out.”
