About Shaq Vs Show

Shaq Vs. is an American reality television show starring American basketball star Shaquille O'Neal of the Cleveland Cavaliers. It began airing on ABC August 18, 2009.

O'Neal reportedly stole the idea from Steve Nash, who hired an entertainment lawyer to address the issue and is now listed as an executive producer of the show.
