"Shaq Vs.", a new reality show, premiered on ABC on Tuesday, August 18th, 2009.
The series will feature Cleveland Cavaliers center Shaquille O'Neal stepping out of his comfort zone of basketball and challenging other high-profile athletes in competitions in their sports.
The first show featured Shaq in a visit to Ben's home and then on to a challenge against him on the football field.
This particular competition worked off a 7-on-7 football premise: a skeleton passing formation with receivers and backs with Ben quarterbacking one team, and Shaq quarterbacking the other.
A handicapping system was worked out between the two-time Super Bowl winner and Shaq to make the competition more balanced.
