Shaquille O'Neal - Justin Bieber

[HMG] – In the first season of his critically-panned show, ‘Shaq Vs.,’ NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal took on Ben Roethlisberger and boxer, Oscar de la Hoya — and lost as only Shaq can. But the new season brings Shaq his oddest challenge yet — a dance-off against Justin Bieber.

Season one saw the 7’1″ O’Neal go 0-for-5 in the contests, not winning once. But when the new season opens in August we’re promised a better display;

This time Shaq, 38, will face ‘Nathan’s contest winner, Joey Chestnut in competitive eating, then race Dale Earnhardt Jr., try to out-cook Rachel Ray, get magical with Penn & Teller, and even box welterweight “Sugar” Shane Mosley — one of the best best boxers in his weight-class in the world.

But the biggest challenge — and the season’s best ratings — are probably due to be his battle with Justin. MTV says the wildly mismatched pair will go head-to-head in a dance crew contest.

“I’m out to prove that I can compete beyond athletics,” Shaq tells the scribes “There’s no challenge bigger than me.”

You can see if he’s right when season two debuts on August 3rd.

Who thinks Justin can win?…
