Shaquille O’Neal not only has a giant net worth of $4oo million but the Big Aristotle is a giant himself. Shaq has a towering height of seven-feet-one-inches. Known as one of the most dominant players in the league’s history, his impressive height only goes on to support his dominance. Shaq has been photographed next to several celebrities and each time it serves as a reminder of Shaq’s giant build. Additionally, the Big Aristotle’s colossal height has come up on various occasions.

Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, standing at six-feet-11-inches, said that he is taller than the Big Diesel. During an episode of ‘The Big Podcast with Shaq‘, he addressed Antetokounmpo’s claim. Additionally, Shaq revealed in a shocking revelation that he was not in fact seven-feet tall.
