    Tuscon Teen to Take on Shaq & Wade

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Tim Duncan and Yao Ming have battled Shaquille O'Neal under the boards in the NBA.

    Today, 15-year-old Tommy Cruz will do the same.

    Cruz is one of 10 teenagers who were selected to go one-on-one against Shaq in the Nestl? Crunch Hot Shots Camp in Miami.

    The Tucson High School sophomore submitted a 60-second video of freestyle basketball moves that was chosen among more than 1,000 entries.

    "It's a lifetime opportunity, and not everyone gets to have that chance, and I do," Cruz said.

    The 5-foot-3-inch, 110-pound Cruz has not thought about the trickery he will use to fool Shaq, because his first priority is to simply find a way around the 7-1 Miami Heat center.

    "First, I am going to try to do a bit of tricks and try to see if I can shake him off," Cruz said. "But if that doesn't work, I'm going to have to play straight- up basketball."

    But if Cruz does sneak by Shaq, he said he is hoping he can do it with his favorite move, the slip-and-slide.

    The move is a combination of tricks that are staples on the And 1 Mix Tape Tours. One involves him rolling on the ground.

    Once Cruz has had his way with Shaq, he can test his moves on O'Neal's teammate, Dwyane Wade. </div>
