NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal is one of the most dominant big men ever. For the most part of his career, the four-time NBA champion was a nightmare for his opponents who struggled against his physical prowess. The 7′ center was also nimble with unreal athleticism for someone his height and weight. The number of shattered backboards and rims is proof enough of his athleticism. However, the 2000 NBA MVP struggled with niggling and serious injuries that snowballed at the end of his career.

After winning four titles as one of the best centers in the league, O’Neal struggled a lot in the final few seasons of his career. He was not at his best anymore and finally called it quits in 2011. He suffered from weight gain after his retirement, but he has been making huge progress recently. However, this Hollywood star still made fun of Shaq’s body back in 2011.

Kevin Hart’s observation of Shaquille O’Neal

Actor and comedian Kevin Hart made fun of Shaquille O’Neal during an appearance on Conan O’Brien’s show more than decade ago. The comedian is usually on the receiving end of jokes when it comes to his height. However, he takes it and even makes jokes about himself as well. But when he was asked about O’Neal during the show, Hart did not hold back talking about the Los Angeles Lakers legend’s massive size. Conan asked Hart what it was like hanging out with O’Neal. According to the video posted by the official Team Coco YouTube channel, he replied, “First of all I don’t call him Shaq. I call him long knees little body. That’s what I call him.”

The host was a bit surprised and confirmed the name as the fans could not stop laughing. The comedian continued, “Shaq has a body of a Dutch woman.” The whole set went wild hearing this.

Hart on his relationship with O’Neal

Kevin Hart noted that his relationship with Shaquille O’Neal was “complicated.” He said, “Me and Shaq’s relationship is complicated because all we do is tease each other. All his jokes of me being small, mine’s of him being big. But naturally I win because I’m a comedian and he’s not.”
