The grownups even caught up with the trends thanks to the younger ones. Shaq’s Thanksgiving discovery though had to do with his old friend, Kevin Hart.

This time he spent the holiday with his mom, Lucille, and his kids, among other loved ones. His eldest daughter, Taahirah O’Neal, shared several updates on the family gathering that were both sweet and hilarious.

She shared more moments on her Instagram Stories, including the separate realm of the kids’ table this 27-year-old is still designated to. The highlight was when Shaq got curious about the music they were playing.

Shaq imagines life Hart-sized

The Shaq-Hart duo has its own niche fans because of that hilarious height difference alone. Kevin Hart is a respectable 5’2″ but is used to being dwarfed by his celebrity friends, including 7’1″ giant Shaq.

He doesn’t have the same problems O’Neal does, like struggling to fit in airplane seats and failing at hide-and-seek. Shaq’s height troubles make one awesome commercial for Pepsi starring the NBA legend. Together with Skee-Lo, he raps his wish to be smaller – like Kevin Hart.
