I'll definitely watch at least the first episode and give it a shot. It should be interesting to see Shaq doing some of these other sports.

Shaquille O'Neal is a charming guy. He's also pretty full of himself -- but you would be, too, if you were 7'1" tall and had logged over 12,000 career rebounds in the NBA. This guy can slap a Superman bumper sticker on the side of his car and claim that the "S" stands for Shaq. He can star in a kids' movie as the title character, Kazaam, and pull off an Aladdin-style genie outfit. He can even wear an outfit made entirely of plaid, including the fedora, vest, and shoes.
So even though Shaq's first attempt at TV -- a weight-loss show called Shaq's Big Challenge -- tanked, it wasn't enough to stop the larger-than-life charmer. The basketball star has another reality show in the works, and this one promises to be a winner. Shaq, however, will likely be the loser.
In Shaq Vs., he'll play against other star athletes in their own sports, and he says that he's training hard for the challenges. He'll play tennis against Serena Williams, swim against Michael Phelps, try to tackle Ben Roethlisberger, and spar with Oscar de la Hoya, to name a few. But basketball fans need not worry: According to USA Today, he'll enter training camp with the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sept. 15.
Shaq Vs. premieres on August 18 at 9 p.m. on ABC.
