Michael Phelps once competed with an NBA legend in swimming
During an interview with Bovada in 2023, Michael Phelps was asked about his thoughts on swimming and basketball. He shared that both sports require a lot of endurance but at different levels. Phelps was then asked which NBA player he thinks will be able to transition to the sport of swimming easily.
Although the 23-time Olympic gold medalist did not clearly name any player, he mentioned his experience racing against former NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal.
"I watch Shaq come a long way after working with him for one week when we did Shaq versus and it makes me believe that their body awareness is there," Phelps said.
"I think over time they could get good but I don't know how good it could be," he added.
After his retirement, Shaquille O’Neal hosted his show "Shaq Vs." in which he competed against other top athletes in their respective sports.
In one of the episodes, the former LA Lakers player competed with Michael Phelps, who was at the peak of his swimming career after the 2008 Olympics.
The competition was divided into three races. Although Shaq won the first race, the second and third were won by Phelps.
