Last year, Shaq challenged several top athletes in different sports to prove that he is the “greatest athlete ever formed” and to prepare for his NBA Season with Cleveland. He tried beating Ben Roethlisberger in a quarterback challenge. He teamed up with Olympic gold medallist Todd Rogers to play beach volleyball against two other Olympic gold medallists Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh. He also went against Albert Pujols of St. Louis Cardinals in a home run derby. He even asked the help of Freddie Roach in his boxing fight against Oscar De La Hoya. In the season finale, he challenged Michael Phelps in several swimming races.
Of course there were handicaps so that Shaq can have the chance to win. But he never did win.
And guess what? He is not yet tired of getting his ass kicked.
The recently-signed Boston Celtic will face not only athletes this year but also entertainers, a chef, and a spelling bee champion. This season, he goes against Nascar’s Dale Earnhardt Jr., boxer Shane Mosley, sprinter Tyson Gay, and former NBA player Charles Barkley in a game golf. Also, he will face spelling bee champion Kavya Shivashankar, Magicians Penn and Teller, chef/tv personality Rachael Ray, and Hot Dog eating champion Joey Chestnut.
Here is a preview of his boxing fight against Sugar Shane Mosley:
