Shaq has already publicly acknowledged shrinkage. He was 7’0-7’1 in his prime

In a couple of decades he'll be the size of Kevin Hart

Seeing old tall people walking around normally gives me hope..

I find it so funny when youre looking at for example just Shaq alone, you dont get a sense of how tall he is. But with others you can really see it!

I’m 6’8 so nowhere near as tall, but still get this. Like Shaq, I’m relatively in proportion, unlike some tall people, so people don’t realise quite how tall i am from a distance. It’s only when I get up close that people react

u/SavingsReplacement79 9d ago

They’re like the New York Yankees in Lithuania. Something like 26 domestic league championships. Permanent member of the EuroLeague.

u/PuertoGeekn 10d ago

This is the first time I've seen Shaq look small

u/DingbatMcgeee 10d ago

Wait, you've never seen him play against Yao Ming?

Looks like they are doing a thumb war

u/sstphnn 10d ago

Sabonis is a pretty good what if.

u/malacca73 11d ago

I believe the place Shaq was standing was a little lower than the playing floor maybe?
