Shaq Challenges Spelling Bee Champion

Shaquille O'Neal is like a lovable cartoon character and a beloved one. Once in a lifetime does a bigger than life personality in a bigger than everyone body embrace us like Shaq has. From challenging other professional athletes on his own show to dance-offs against other fellow NBA players. Shaq made an impromptu appearance at the hotel where the spelling bee was being held and challenged last year's Scripps National Spelling Bee champion, 14-year-old Kavya Shivashankar, to a spell-off.

She accepted Shaq's challenge and allowed him two misspelled words. Details of their face-off are TBA.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" she asked O'Neal. "I did win the national spelling bee last year."

"Keep in mind I have my bachelor's and master's, and I'm ready to go," he said.


Here is a clip of Shaq being Shaq:
