"Shaq VS Justin Bieber / Shaq VS Jimmy Kimmel" - Shaquille O'Neal will take on Pop/R&B multi-platinum singing sensation Justin Bieber in the ultimate entertainment event, live and on stage in front of thousands of screaming fans in Orlando, FL.

Leading up the dance challenge and collaborative performance with Justin Bieber, Shaq practiced being a pop star through various exercises and dance rehearsals, reciting lyrics and signing autographs for hundreds of screaming fans. He dug deep into what it's really like to be a pop sensation... Will he have what it takes to cool the red hot Bieber fever?
Then, during Shaq's late-night appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," he challenges host Kimmel to see who can come up with the best and funniest monologue. Will the NBA star have the humor, quick wit and delivery needed to outperform his rival, or will Shaq realize the late-night arena is one that Kimmel clearly dominates.
