Shaq Played Beach Volleyball Against Kerri Walsh and Misty May
As many people saw, Shaq played beach volleyball against Kerri Walsh and Misty May on his new show Shaq Vs. on ABC. This show has Shaq taking on various proffesional athletes at their sport. It was obvious that Shaq only practiced one time with Todd Rogers and Phil Dalhausser before playing with Todd Rogers against Misty May and Kerri Walsh.
Could Shaq be good at beach volleyball with proper training?
Yes, he could be good but not professional. 
He is just too slow and can’t get out of the sand, but you really don’t need to jump very high when your reach is 9’3″! All he has to do is go on his toes to reach 9’6″ and that is about how high most blocks are when they are jumping. I was the most impressed with shaqs setting skills. Setting is a very difficult part to the game of beach volleyball and he set his teammate pretty well. It helped that they didn’t call anything on shaq from touching the net almost every time he attempted to block, to lifting the ball and open hand tipping it all over the place. Shaq even switched partners half way through with Casey Jennings (husband to Kerri Walsh) but quickly changed his mind after Casey got roofed by his wife on an attempt to hit Shaqs worst set of the day. So the final result is that Shaq and Todd Rogers lost the first 2 games to 11 and Shaq had to wear a pink speedo.
