Shaquille O'Neill Challenges David Beckham
-
One of the athletes who uses the social networking tool of Twitter most frequently is basketball player Shaquille O'Neal, more commonly known as Shaq.
.
Now O'Neal has used his Twitter account to challenge one of the world's most famous soccer players, David Beckham.
"Dear david beckham, I kno u heard about my shaq vs show, anyway u will never score a goal on me, I challenge you lil man"
O'Neal is starring in a new reality show where he challenges top athletes in different sports.
O'Neal did not wait long before sending a follow up to his first message.
"David beckham I kno u hear me, dnt be scared, dnt make me call u out, u will never score a goal on me"
It didn't seem to matter to the new Cleveland Cavaliers center that the Los Angeles Galaxy star plays a different sport.
"Dear david beckham, dnt make me tweet to 2 million people that yur scared of shaq, u betta respnd, if u scared get a dog"
Beckham has in fact declared himself a big basketball fan, but of the Los Angeles Lakers, O'Neal's former team. Beckham is a friend and admirer of Kobe Bryant, who famously fueded with O'Neal during part of their time together on the team.
"he can't score on me" boasted another O'Neal tweet.
Presumably, O'Neal plans to play goalkeeper against Beckham, though details of the challenge were not made clear on Twitter. At 7'1, O'Neal would be capable of blocking a lot of the goal area through his sheer size alone, but his reflexes may not be up to par as a shotblocker.
Still, O'Neal didn't seem to lack in confidence, if his final Twitter message was any indication.
"Its official, today is david beckham is scared of shaq, day, he should b scared, he can never score a goal on me." -
Against one of the best free kick and penalty takers in the world? Beckham probably can't be bothered
-
if i was beckham, i will smack the ball right into o'neal's face with my right boot.
-
has he gone insane?
thats an't what a sportsman should be behaving
-
he is at the most 10cm taller than VDS and peter czech.
They are not invincible, besides he is so fat u think he can react to the speed and the curl? His job is to throw balls. Not catch balls.
He should check again on how big a goal post is, it isnt the same as a basketball hoop.
Shaquille O'Neal = Closet Los Angeles Galaxy Fan

aiya chill la you all, it's just a joke by him bah. a gimmick for his new show. that's how he going to get viewership for his show
-
just because shaq was the interim manager for the recent WWE RAW event, and he manage to knock big show off his feet does not mean he is fit to be the goalkeeper that saves David Beckham's spectacular freekicks.
Kick him in the nuts Becks.
