"That's How I Beat Shaq" is the first single off American pop singer Aaron Carter's second studio album Aaron's Party (Come Get It). The song was released on January 6, 2001.
The song was able to make it to #96 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[1]
In the song, Aaron tells his friends about how he defeated Shaquille O'Neal in a one-on-one game of basketball.
A music video for the song was released. In the video, Aaron is riding a scooter through a park. He sees his friends and tells them about how he defeated Shaq in a game of basketball which they don't believe. The video then cuts to Aaron and Shaq playing ball. Aaron beats Shaq and the crowd celebrates. Aaron then wakes up in his bed, revealing that it was just a dream.
According to Shaq, Aaron would come over to his mansion when his brother and the Backstreet Boys were recording their album there. During one of these visits, Aaron managed to actually defeat him in a game of H-O-R-S-E.[2]
On March 7, 2013, Aaron and Shaq had a rematch for fun. Shaq said that if he lost, he would donate $5,000 to a charity that Aaron chose. Aaron chose the "charity" of The Aaron Carter Needs a Jet Ski Foundation. Shaq would score with Aaron not able to make a single basket.[3]
