Shaquille O'Neal
Video: Shaquille O'Neal challenged some of the biggest stars in sports last summer during his "Shaq Vs." reality sports show. Well, O'Neal took on an even bigger challenge when he faced last year's Scripps National Spelling Bee champion, 14-year-old Kavya Shivashankar of Kansas, to a spell-off. As reported in Saturday's story on cleveland.com:
Showing off his prowess, he tried a bit of dazzle by spelling, to laughter, “k-i-t-t-e-n. Kitten.” Kavya was unimpressed, noting that she beat Jimmy Kimmel when he laid down a similar challenge last year. Kavya reports that she beat O’Neal when he flubbed the word “distinguo”.
