Despite Hall of Fame credentials, fifteen All-Star Game appearances, four National Basketball Association titles, and three league Most Valuable Player awards, Shaquille O'Neal was never known for his free-throw shooting skills. In fact, free-throws were always Kryptonite for the self-proclaimed Superman.

"Shaq-Diesel" was recently invited by late night host Jimmy Kimmel to a free-throw contest, on his "Jimmy Kimmel Live" show, against YouTube sensation, "Trick Shot Titus" - Titus Ashby, a two-year-old from Derby, Kentucky whose videos of his cute basketball shots have gone viral.

Young Titus did not disappoint, shooting 8-for-16 from the charity stripe in 30-seconds against O'Neal's 0-14. The former Orlando Magic and Los Angeles Laker center blamed his passer (Kimmel) for his performance.

"Just like the old days," quipped Kimmel as Shaq kept putting up brick after brick.

Ever the jovial good sport, O'Neal gave the Trick Shot Titus the shoe he was wearing, as a celebratory trophy.
