    I too saw the show. I was very impressed with Shaq. Just think how fast he could go if he spent a few weeks in the pool. His times were not bad at all with no streamline whatsoever and that huge wide-leg kick of his. Phelps looked like he was going slow on purpose in the IM. It wasn't just his ankle. His backstroke looked terrible and he popped to the surface on every turn. His freestyle looked fast enough when he wanted it to be. Staged nicely though all around. Shaq was funny and seemed to appreciate Bowman's help. Notice he called him "sir?"
