Shaquille O’Neal stands 2.16 metres tall, which is over seven foot. For a point of comparison, Andries Bekker, the tallest man ever to don a Springbok jersey, comes in at a measly 2.08 metres.
Now you’ve heard the saying ‘the bigger they are the harder they fall’, and here is a classic example to drive home the point. During the half-time show for Wednesday’s Inside the NBA the big man took a tumble, lost a shoe and managed to have a good laugh at himself. He even went as far as to challenge Twitter users to make a meme of the incident, offering a $500 reward.
He later retweeted this image, which we’ll assume won the cash prize because, well, who cares.
For a man with a reputed net worth of around the $350 million mark that’s not exactly much harm done. We can’t say the same for the area of the studio he landed on.
