It turns out that Shaquille O’Neal isn’t always the tallest person in the room.

The former NBA star, 52, was recently “blown away” when he had a hilarious encounter with a Florida Gators player who holds the Guinness Record for the world’s tallest teenager.

O’Neal, who is 7’1″ tall, met with 18-year-old Olivier Rioux, a 7’9″ center on the college basketball team, in a video posted by Hot Freestyle on Friday, Jan. 2 . 10.

In the clip, O’Neal is seen berating Logan Bohbot, Medium Rare’s head of artist management. But when he turns around, he finds his face level with Rioux’s chest.

O’Neal then slowly tilts his head to look the newbie in the eyes before turning to the camera with a shocked expression on his face. The two athletes then burst out laughing.

“SHAQ is ahead. 😂,” Hot Freestyle captioned the post, which was also shared by O’Neal’s official Instagram account.

The retired athlete, who has since taken up DJing as a new career, also shared a raw version of the video on his DJ Diesel account. He captioned the post: “Pick someone your size 😂.”

According to Guinness World Records, Rioux earned the title of world’s tallest teenager when he reached 7 feet, 5 inches tall at the age of 15.
