The ring shaq's wearing on one of his fingers would probably fit on my wrist

[@DCD4Ever]

You must have wrists the size of a 5-year-old's. 😂

[@jimmysapien9961]

Haaaaaaaa

[@amorodioamor4388]

At least he didn't say it would fall off his unit.

[@micahtasler]

It would fit my entire head loooooool

[@YA05]

It’s his hof ring

[@Baraa.K.Mohammad]

Shaq doesn't need an elevator... He is the elevator.

[@michaelb.8953]

He only gets on an elevator so that for a brief moment in time his feet actually catch up to the rest of his body.

[@CristianoRonaldo-ke7vg]

That was good

[@liberty5069]

Yeah, he can just pick you up and place you on whatever floor you're going to.

I know what you're thinking. No, Shaq does not have a huge 🍆. It's 9", which is big, but given his size, it's not as big as it should be. Do you still want to meet him?

[@anthonymorales842]

I ran him to him outside of hotel in Portland Or. He thought I was homeless and offered me money to by dinner. I was so offended, the next day in the hotel he apologized. Then he offered to shake hands and formally introduced himself, that I thought was class.

Shaq is a pretty big fella, but some years ago in Zurich (Switzerland) I was in the Passengers’ Lounge sipping coffee when a gentleman who had to have been right around 8 feet tall strode into the room. Of course, I have no idea who he was, but he was sure hard to miss. I couldn’t help pondering what his life must be like and what his clothing budget must be.
