Things I know nothing about

We have watched the first two episodes of Shaq Vs. and I have to say, it's pretty funny. The guy just seems to have tons of fun, and watching him compete against the masters of the various sports is a lot funnier than the usual serious-while-playing sports that are usually happening in my general 1080i area. This might be his last year playing, and he could have a big future in TV, but I think that maybe he could only play himself. If Kazaam taught us anything, it was that Shaq acting is just Shaq playing... Shaq, and that those shoes looked silly. OK, the whole thing was silly.


But who ISN'T down with a rapping genie with attitude, really?

Perhaps he could also play the role of an *ahem* "thief", as it has now come to light that Mr. Steve Nash feels that Shaq lifted the idea behind Shaq Vs. from him sometime last year. I don't know if it's true or not, but honestly, I would much rather watch Shaq try to compete against the Women's Volleyball champions that I would the Suns' #13. Mr. Nash is a svelte individual who could possibly don a bikini and pull it off.

I could not find any actually pictures of Mr. Nash in a bikini, sadly.

It's much more entertaining to watch Shaq talk trash and compete against individuals that are a total mismatch when they get onto the field/court/pool, etc...

This issue reportedly led to some tensions on the Phoenix Suns team last year, which in turn led to Mr. O'Neal's early exit. This year he is playing for Cleveland, and if his statement in September of last year holds true, the 2009-2010 season will be his final playing professional basketball. If TV doesn't pan out for him, he could always fall back on Law Enforcement as he is already a reserve officer in Miami (maybe Cleveland now?) though I'd probably prefer him as a new recruit on Reno 911.
