Shaq And Gronk Are Competing Again And It’s Not In A Dance-Off This Time

Former NBA center Shaquille O’Neal and NFL tight end Rob Gronkowski will be engaging in a series of competitions to raise money for charity on June 27 in Shaq’s Fun House Vs. Gronk Beach. The event is being advertised as a virtual party combining fun and music as a benefit for social justice. With seven rings (I want it, I got) between the two of them, Shaq and Gronk are no strangers to competition. In fact, this isn’t the first time Shaq and Gronk have squared off for a good ole competitive soiree. The last time wasn’t exactly for charity.

Shaq and Gronk are both so comically large that any move they do looks a bit awkward, but I feel like I’m not the only one who thought they were about to start making out. It’s a good thing the clip cut off where it did or else it would have warranted an X- rating. But I guess even Shaq can’t hoist a man as big as Gronk on his shoulders without things getting a little weird.

I anticipate the events of Shaq’s Fun House Vs. Gronk Beach being a little more G-rated as Shaq is competing to raise money for Boys & Girls Clubs of America. Gronk’s winnings will be donated to the NAACP. The two will compete in six different challenges including a lip sync battle, a game of HORSE, and jousting, with the winner of each competition earning a donation to his respective charity.

Not to be the PC police, but I have to say the only thing I don’t like about this particular affair is that it’s a competition. I love to compete, myself, but beating racial injustice requires a team effort; competition is what got us here in the first place. Having said that, I love both these guys and I completely support the cause and raising money for charity. I just hope that the cause is mentioned enough so that two oversized dudes, like Shaq and Gronk, going head-to-head doesn’t diminish the fact that at the end of the day, this is all for charity.

The party starts at 8 p.m. ET on June 27 and will be live-streamed free of charge at www.ShaqVsGronk.com and also on Tik Tok with a simulcast on other platforms including LiveXLive, Facebook, Twitch, YouTube and Twitter. Fans will be able to live chat and even have the ability to suggest shots for HORSE.

The party will be hosted by Taylor Rooks and comedian J.B. Smoove and will also feature performances and interviews with rapper Snoop Dogg, DaBaby, DJ Steve Aoki, Diplo, and Carnage. Shaq will also take his turn on set as DJ Diesel. This is definitely not one you are going to want to miss. I mean, when was the last time you got to see two men with a combined 14 feet and seven championships square off for charity?
