Shaq challenges Lance Armstrong to race via Twitter
Has Twitter become the new medium for making a challenge? Apparently so.
A little after noon today, NBA and Phoenix Suns star Shaquille O’Neal challenged veteran cyclist Lance Armstrong to a race via his Twitter account @THE_REAL_SHAQ, and Armstrong, through his own account @lancearmstrong, accepted:
THE_REAL_SHAQ @lancearmstrong this is shaq, I challenge u to a race anytime any place, its time someone challenged u, call perry rogers for details its on lancearmstrong @THE_REAL_SHAQ Alright Shaq, you’re on. To quote the great Ricky Bobby, “bring it on trying to bring me down.” Game on…
Is this for real? Does Shaq stand a chance against Armstrong? The Twitterverse seems skeptical but interested to see the possible race, and already wondering who would win the challenge:
gardinerUK I just witnessed the challenge and acceptance of a race between big Shaq and Lance Armstrong?? wtf carmichaelpt is loving the fact that he just witnessed Shaq challenge Lance Armstrong to a race over twitter fhernandox @lancearmstrong do they make bikes big enough for SHAQ? tweeting123 If Shaq and armstrong really race I say Shaq retire, armstrong has to walk, and shaq gets the bike joemuhe We interrupt the negligence studies to laugh at the fact that shaq challenged lance to a race. And lance accepted the challenge. gnarlyyy already excited for shaq/buzz lightyear bike race ArtinaB Oh how I would love to see @THE_REAL_SHAQ take on @lancearmstrong!
