Shaq Vs.

$12.00

Shaq Vs. is an American reality television show produced for ABC by Dick Clark Productions and Media Rights Capital starring American basketball star Shaquille O’Neal. It began airing on August 18, 2009.

Shaquille O’Neal claims to be “the greatest athlete” and challenged numerous top athletes in their own sports.

The Washington Post has pointed out similarities to Shaq Vs. and Todd Gallagher’s book “Andy Roddick Beat Me With a Frying Pan” saying the book and the show have “precisely the same premise” and that a TV show based on the book Gallagher was trying to sell was “the exact same show.” TMZ later reported that Gallagher received a half-a-million dollar settlement. Gallagher’s name appears in the credits of season 2 as a producer.

The Arizona Republic reported that in early 2008 Steve Nash, a former teammate of O’Neal’s, had mentioned to O’Neal a reality show he was pursuing that would feature Nash taking on professional athletes in their own sport. O’Neal said Nash’s idea was based on training with other athletes, not competing against them. Nash would not confirm the Republic’s story and said, “We collaborated on parts of the show.” Nash is an executive producer of the program.

Our catalog is built as a reference for our customers, while we do our best to sync our in-stock items on our website. The items that are not released yet, or not out on DVD / Blu-ray are indeed unavailable, and that is what we would tell our customers if the requests ever come in.

Our aim is to build a comprehensive listing of movies and TV shows available to date.

Since, we do not take payments online at this time, there is 0% risk in placing order for movies you like on our website. Our representative will get in touch with the customer with the availability of the items when an order is placed.

Best Effort Policy

Should an item be unavailable, we would inform you if it was possible to provide an on-Demand DVD-R version of the requested item, but we offer no guarantees. Many DVD stores now offer MOD service, and so do we to keep a competitive edge. We would not make any profit out of such sale. The price of the items would only cover the operational / raw material / shipping costs; and would be sold for personal use only.
