NBA star Shaquille O’Neal is getting ready to multitask.
The four-time hoops champion, who joins the Cleveland Cavaliers next season, will star in Shaq Vs., an ABC reality series that pits him against top athletes in their own sports.
Filming begins Wednesday in Pittsburgh, where Shaq takes on Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in football. Future hour-long episodes will pit him against Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, retired boxer Oscar De La Hoya, St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols, tennis pro Serena Williams and beach volleyball Olympians Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh.
O’Neal, 37, says he also hopes to book pal Lance Armstrong for a cycling competition once the Tour de France ends.
The series is set to premiere Aug. 18 and will air Tuesdays at 9 ET/PT.
