Shaquille O'Neal and Rob Gronkowski held a virtual party Saturday that included musical performances and a series of challenges with the two superstars going head-to-head for charity.
Shaq was playing for Boys & Girls Clubs of America, while Gronk did the same for the NAACP. The winner of a particular challenge would earn a donation for his charity.
DoorDash also committed donating one meal in partnership with Feeding America to people in need for every viewer on the event's live stream (up to 1.25 million meals).
Shaq and Gronk went head-to-head in a lip-sync battle, a game of H-O-R-S-E, jousting, a sports obstacle course, a grilling challenge, a hot-wing eating contest and a sports-trivia showdown. Turner Sports' Taylor Rooks hosted the proceedings.
The highlight of the evening clearly occurred on the basketball court, when the 48-year-old Shaq ripped the rim off the hoop with his dunk.
