Shaq Launches Dunkman League This Summer

TNT Sports and Shaquille O'Neal are turning Dunkman into a full pro league this summer. The league will feature 24 elite dunkers in four group-stage contests, with $500,000 going to the winner. Shaq will serve as commissioner, and the events will air on TNT, TBS, truTV, and HBO Max. Dunkman started as a limited series and ended with Jordan Kilganon winning $200,000 in mid-December. The new league will still use expert judges to pick winners and losers. TNT Sports says participant names and event locations are coming in the next few weeks.
