Shaquille O’Neal Launching New Dunkman League with $500K Prize
Shaquille O’Neal is on a mission to find the best dunker in the world! With over 4,000 dunks under his belt from his NBA career, he’s the brains behind Dunkman, the first-ever professional dunking league. The idea was sparked by the success of the Dunkman television series that aired last year, and it’s now set to take off in a big way.
Teaming up with TNT Sports, Shaq’s league will feature five live events, including four group stage competitions and a final title event, where 24 dunkers from across the globe will compete for the world champion title and a whopping $500,000 prize.
According to O’Neal, “These athletes are innovators, and Dunkman is going to give them a global stage, real stakes, and a chance to build careers doing what they love.” The league plans to revolutionize dunking with an Olympic-level scoring system and a panel of expert judges, setting a new bar for professional dunking.
To catch all the action, you can tune in to TNT, TBS, truTV, HBO Max, and some social channels for the league’s events. Shaquille O’Neal’s Dunkman league is about to turn dunking from a one-time spectacle into a thriving professional sport where the sky’s the limit!
