Shaquille O’Neal is one of the tallest NBA players in history. The 7 ft giant was always known for using his size and physique to dominate on the court. Shaq’s presence on the court was always noticeable. Using his commanding playing style, Shaq liked to bully and bulldoze people in a matchup. Driving with the ball and attempting his famous dunks were the main feature of his game.

Deontay Wilder is a professional heavyweight boxer. He has had 45 fights in his career. He has won 42 of them, drawn one, and lost twice. Of those 42 wins, 41 have been knockouts.

Deontay Wilder next to Shaquille O’Neal

Deontay Wilder on his Instagram account shared a picture with Shaq. He showed love for Shaq and his caption was evidence of the admiration the boxer has for the NBA legend. Although Shaq’s birthday is on March 6th, Deontay, for some reason, wished Shaq, “Happy Born Day.”

Although Deontay is himself 6’7” which is a massive height yet Shaq towers over the boxer. That’s the effect Shaq has on others. Bronze Bomber is one the tallest boxers but in front of the 7’0 giant Diesel, well there’s no competition.
