Next week's episode puts Shaq against Misty May/Kerri Walsh. Should be interesting. Shaq went up against Ben Rothesburger this past week and lost, so now he has to let Ben wear his NBA championship ring for a week.
Pretty cool show, more publicity stunt than real athletic competition. Shaq's not gonna risk injury by getting too crazy, and neither are the elite athletes in other sports that he's going against.
I think I saw several other beach pros involved in next week's episode. Shaq looked like he was someplace in North Bay training with Dain Blanton and some other AVP pros.

Oh, and they measured Shaq's standing vertical/jump touch. His standing reach is 9'3" and his touch from standing jump was 11'7". That's freakin' impressive for a guy his size. So doing the math he has a standing vertical jump of about 28 inches. His approach jump would be a couple inches more, say low 30's. That's incredible for a guy his size and weight and age. I wonder what his approach jump and reach would have been at the peak of his athletic ability, say 12-14 years ago.
