These 12 Pics Of Celebs Standing Next To Shaq Prove How Big He Really Is

A recent study has shown that the average height for a player in the National Basketball Association is about 6'7". That seems pretty tall, right? Well, now consider the fact that the legendary Shaquille O'Neal is 7'1". The man is a giant! And although he has been retired from NBA play since 2011, Shaq remains one of the most iconic — and tallest — figures in the game. However, his height is only truly experienced when comparing him to the likes of other celebrities.

Here are a few hilarious height comparisons that made me laugh. 

1. Shaq and Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay's 5'5" frame looks miniature next to the legend. 

2. Shaq and Charlie Sheen

I used to think that 5'10" was a fairly good height for a man, but Shaq makes Charlie look like a little kid!

3. Shaq and Kevin Hart

Okay, Kevin Hart standing next to anyone is pretty funny. But put the 5'4" comedian next to the 7'1" baller and you've reached a new level of funny. 

4. Shaq and Bella Thorne

Is there anything more adorable than looking at the 5'8" actress next to the big man? 

5. Shaq and Will Smith

Many would say that at 6'2", Will Smith is pretty tall guy! Not next to Shaq though...

6. Shaq and Justin Bieber

5'9"... that's barely going to make a dent. 

7. Shaq and Simone Biles

The Olympic gymnast stands a mere 4'8", but in this photo from the Super Bowl she looks like she's only half of Shaq's height!

8. Shaq and Danica Patrick

Keep in mind that the race car goddess is 5'2". 

9. Shaq and Mark Wahlberg

Marky Mark isn't the tallest actor at 5'8", but he looks like a little boy next to Shaq!

10. Shaq and Jessica Simpson

At 5'3", Simpson probably couldn't even reach Shaq's head with her hand. 

11. Shaq and Adam Sandler and Kevin James and Alyssa Milano

Sandler stands 5'10", James 5'8" and Milano 5'2".
