While I wasn’t too big a fan of last summer’s Shaq Vs. on ABC, the network has picked up the series for a second season, totaling six episodes. Here’s some athletes I’d like to see Shaq go up against:
- Manny “Pac Man the Destroyer” Pacquiao: It’ll never happen (something about the number and timing of blood tests), but I’d like to see if Pacquiao would be able to take down a giant approximately nineteen times his size. I’d call the episode “David vs. Diesel.”
- Tom Hanks (as Forrest Gump): Shaq hasn’t won a single competition yet, but I’d imagine he’d have a shot playing Tom Hanks in ping pong, since Shaq has the wingspan approximately the width of a California Condor.
- Dwight Howard and his illegitimate children: Remember that show 1 vs. 100 that was on NBC with Bob Saget? I’d imagine it’d be something like that.
Who is on your wish list for the upcoming season of Shaq Vs.?
