Shaq Plays Ball With Kids’ WB! This May

(May 1, 2001 – Burbank, CA) — “What is your super-natural ability…your superhero name? Do you have what it takes to become a real-life superhero? Get ready for the ultimate Kids’ WB! challenge… Kids’ WB! brings the world champion Los Angeles Lakers’ basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal to its Saturday morning line-up on May 5, 12 and 19 (11:00 a.m. ET / 10:00 a.m. PT). Don’t miss Kids’ WB!’s special interstitial airings of “The New Adventures of STATIC SHAQ,” as electrifying superhero Static of “Static Shock” goes “one-on-one” with NBA’s MVP Shaquille to teach him how to be a real superhero…becoming STATIC SHAQ!

Watch as Shaq gets “schooled” by Static on what it takes to be a real-life superhero. Does Shaq got game enough to join the superhero “hall of fame” with other Kids’ WB! legends?

Also during May Sweeps, Kids’ WB!’s Saturday morning line-ups will include the two-part season finale face-off with Magneto in the high-adventure series “X-Men: Evolution” (5/5, 5/12), a chilling race across Asia to stop Shendu from using the magical talismans for vengeance on the season finale of “Jackie Chan Adventures” (5/5), as well as all original programming of “Pokémon: The Johto Journeys,” “The Zeta Project” and “Men in Black: The Series.” In addition, for a special Mother’s Day weekend (5/12), Kids’ WB! will air the touching season finale of “Static Shock,” in which Virgil learns to cope with his mother’s death.

A double-stuffed morning line-up will shake things up on Saturday, May 19 as kids have the chance to see their favorite Kids’ WB! characters in back-to-back episodes. Beginning at 8:00 am. ET, catch an exciting hour of “Jackie Chan Adventures” followed by “X-Men: Evolution” from 9:00-10:00 a.m. ET.
