Shaquille O’Neal stars in “Shaq Vs.,” a new TV series in which the 15-time all-star NBA center will challenge top athletes in their respective sports. During one episode of the show, which debuts Aug. 18 on ABC, Shaq will compete against Olympic star Michael Phelps. That’s swimming, not belly-flopping. O’Neal also will try his skills against Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, retired boxer Oscar De La Hoya and Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols, among others. “These athletes may be on top of their game, but I am up for the challenge,” O’Neal said. “I plan to train hard and win, so look out.” The Associated Press, Getty Images file photo
