“You Know What They Say About Men With Tiny Hands?”: 7 ft Shaquille O’Neal Makes Adult Joke on a Short Man While Flexing His 10 Inch Long Hands

NBA all-time great Shaquille O’Neal was a phenom during his prime. His size coupled with his explosion and quickness was a nightmare for opponents. And he dominated the league ever since his rookie year. The towering center is one of the most dominant big men ever. Off the court, Shaq is a great entertainer and a funny guy. Recently, O’Neal made an adult joke comparing the size of his hands to the size of a former rugby veteran on Live TV.

Shaquille O’Neal is doing a pay-per-view talk show with FoxSportsAus called ‘An Evening With Shaquille’ hosted by former rugby player Mathew Johns and Jonathan Brown. During the show, Johns asked whether O’Neal received any offers to play in the NFL. Shaq replied, “No. I could have played in the NFL.” And the former rugby veteran admitted that Shaq could have played in the NFL.

Jonathan Brown saying Johns has a tiny hand was an invitation enough for Shaquille O’Neal to make the joke. With a smirk on his face, he joked, “You know what they say about men with tiny hands?” And Mathew Johns tried to counter the situation with a joke of his own. However, it didn’t work as Shaq said, “I haven’t heard that one buddy.”

And Brown who dragged Johns into this also admitted to O’Neal and said,  “I haven’t heard that.” Then Mathew Johns wanted to measure his hands up to Shaq’s hands and was amazed by the size of the NBA legend’s hands. Talking about Shaq’s hands, he said, “Technically they are claws!”

The four-time NBA champion wore size 22 shoes. So it is no wonder he has huge hands. As per reports, O’Neal’s hands are estimated to be close to 10.25 inches in length and 12 inches in width. While there are advantages to having big hands as a basketball player, there are disadvantages as well. Typically, many centers struggled with hitting free throws consistently and their huge hands are considered a reason for it.

Even if it is not the case, the Lakers legend sure struggled with free throws throughout his career. His inefficiency in hitting the free throws consistently encouraged opponents to foul him hard under the basket. Technically, he could miss one of the two free throws as he averaged 52.7% from free throws in his career. Furthermore, teams started fouling even before he received the ball and ‘Hack-a-Shaq’ was born.
