The NBA superstar will star in Shaq Vs., a TV series in which the 15-time All-Star center will challenge top athletes in their respective sports. During one episode, which debuts on Aug. 8 on ABC, Shaq will swim against Olympic superstar Phelps.
O'Neal also will try his football skills against Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, box retired world champion Oscar De La Hoya, bat against St. Louis Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols, trade tennis volleys with Wimbledon champ Serena Williams and play volleyball against Olympic gold medalists Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor.
