Shaquille O’Neal’s show “Shaq Vs” was famous for its bets. The Lakers legend took on various athletes and challenged them in their own sports. And let’s not forget that the NBA legend has always been true to his word. He has been seen completing the bet even when he had to wear a pink Speedo on the beach. You heard that right!

Back in 2009, when he used to host this show on ABC, he challenged Misty May Treanor and Kerri Walsh, two of the best female volleyball players in the world. He challenged them to a volleyball match. As it’s true that he has accomplished so many great things, whether it’s basketball, music, or business. However, this time was different.
