Simone Biles, the gymnastics legend, has a charming personality that makes one think of her as a girl next door. One may see the incredible heights she has attained thus far by looking at her career trajectory. The seven-time Olympic medalist, blessed with a physique that unleashes explosive power to lift herself off the ground, effortlessly propelled to great heights, leaving the world dumbstruck.

While the conversation about heights is moving in this way, it also has another popular aspect that has resurfaced on social media. It is regarding a picture of the MLB legend Frank Thomas.

A picture of Simone and Frank Thomas went viral in 2017. They had a brief meeting in an airport and clicked a photograph standing together. Even though it is a photograph of two legends together in one frame, one can’t help but wonder how much taller one of them is than the other. Moreover, fans are baffled whether Thomas is bigger than Shaquille O’Neal, an NBA legend.

‘Great athletes come in all sizes’

The viral picture of the MLB legend and Simone resurfaced on Twitter with an interesting message: “Frank Thomas and Simone Biles is playing with my head.” In 2017, when the MLB legend met her in an airport, he took to social media to share the moment with a message, “Had the pleasure of meeting the amazing Simone Biles on my flight to Houston the other day… such a sweet and intelligent girl. This is what greatness looks like people!”

It is no wonder that the height difference is leaving people with their heads spinning. Simone’s height is 1.42 m while Thomas’ height is 1.96m. If these heights are mind-boggling, how would one define Shaq’s height at 2.16m? “Damn is he bigger than Shaq???” a comment read.
