Shaquille O’Neal’s Height Next to Donald Trump, Barack Obama and Other US Presidents

Shaquille O’Neal is one of the tallest basketball players to ever play the game. Although there have been quite a few players taller than Shaq, at 7’1” Shaq looks humongous. His physique and weight make him a giant. In his playing days, he used to assert his dominance through his size and weight and bully his opponents in the game. This was the major reason why he dunked a lot in his career.

His signature dunks were unstoppable because of his size. Few opponents found the answer to stop Shaq when he was in flow. During his playing days, there were hardly any players that had the height that Shaq possessed. This allowed him to dominate his opponents and get his way on the court. Most players had to look up to see him in the eye and that is just an illustration of how large and tall Shaq is.

When professional basketball players struggled to get close to Shaq’s height, there was no chance for some of the US presidents.
