Justin Bieber may be only 5'4" tall and weigh a mere 108 pounds, but the Canadian pop star's got game -- especially on the basketball court.
Showing off his impressive moves, Bieber defeated 7'1" basketball superstar Shaquille O’Neal on the Aug. 31 episode of the ABC reality show Shaq Vs. On the show, Shaq takes on various celebrities in a series of challenges.
In the mini-tourney, Justin, 16, and Shaq, 38, both led separate teams. “I’ve got a surprise for you: If you beat me, you can take my jet anywhere in the world on me,” Shaq good-naturedly taunted Justin before the game.
With the score tied at 6-all, Justin made the winning basket, throwing the ball right over Shaq's head.
“Playing basketball on Shaq’s court was really cool," Bieber said afterward. "I had a lot of fun."
The unlikely pair also competed to see who could hold their breath the longest in a swimming pool showdown, and ended their evening with Shaq joining Justin on stage at a concert in Florida, where they duo had a dance-off.
The next day O'Neal joked to Justin on Twitter: 'Call me if u need a back up dancer, u got my numba.'

We all know Shaq, being a gentle giant, let the kid win to make him happy (aka take him on a jet or whatever) if you seriously thing Bieber legitimately beat him, you're on something. He'd just have to back the kid down and he'd be able to swat every shot away easy.
