Shaq Get’s “Out-Gianted,” And His Reaction Is Priceless
At more than 7 feet tall, Shaquille O’Neal is a pretty big guy. His height helped him to have one of the most successful basketball careers in NBA history. Not only is Shaq fantastic on the court, but he’s also a fun-loving guy who can laugh at himself. He’s a genuinely good person, and it’s no wonder that 14 years after his retirement, Shaq is relevant and continues to be likable. The 52-year-old former NBA star recently had a hilarious encounter with a college basketball player that had fans absolutely rolling.

It Seems Shaq Felt Small For A Change
That’s certainly hard to do, but when he met 18-year-old Olivier Rioux, who plays for the Florida Gators, Shaq had to look up to him. Shaq stands 7-foot 1 inch, and Olivier holds the Guinness Record for the world’s tallest teen, standing at a towering 7 feet 9 inches.
In a now-viral clip posted by @hotfreestyle, Shaq appears to be yelling at Logan Bohbot of Medium Rare. When he turns around, he sees a towering Olivier and has to tilt his head up to make eye contact. He pretends he’s terrified, but quickly turns his head and laughs that signature Shaq cackle.
Fans loved seeing the legend, and possible legend in the making, standing nose to chest.
“Shaq had to laugh it off because it’s a joke. He probably would really hurt that man if it had to get down to it,” someone pointed out.
This person agreed, “Funny thing is Shaq would still fold him up like a pretzel.”
Most people loved it. Like this person who wrote, “Shaq has a great sense of humor. A true man of the people.
Olivier agreed and wrote in the comments, “@shaq looking up at me was special, he’s so funny!”
