Former basketball star Shaquille O'Neal pushes his athletic prowess to the limit as he challenges world-class athletes to contests on their turf. Viewers will see not only the final contests, but the training process and pregame hype leading up to them. He's not entirely at a disadvantage - O'Neal negotiates a handicap in advance of each competition with his opponent, and trains for a week with a coach.

Shaq Vs. is a pretty agreeable way to waste your time. Go to Full Review Andy Dehnart Reality Blurred 03/28/2020
Shaq Vs. has an interesting format, but it's too bad ABC and/or the show's producers didn't trust their star enough to let him just interact with people. Go to Full Review David Zurawik Baltimore Sun 09/20/2019
In terms of concept, execution and production, it should have been shown on a regional sports network on a Sunday afternoon when there were no big games -- not network TV in prime time. Go to Full Review Michael Murray Pajiba 09/20/2019
"Shaq Vs." is pure Saturday afternoon theatre. It's a comic book-not even a graphic novel- but it's entirely amiable, the sort of thing I would have stayed up for when I was 10 years old. Go to Full Review Will Wade Common Sense Media 09/20/2019
2/5
Seeing Shaq and the other athletes acting like regular people -- albeit people with amazing abilities -- is much more interesting than watching them participate in a contrived competition. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
