Everyone has to take advantage of their qualities to stand out and that’s what both Simone Biles and Shaquille O’Neal have done.
Two completely different bodies, but two true legends of American sport. With the celebration of the Olympic Games in Paris, this photo showing the comparison between the two has once again gone viral.
Simone Biles wears a controversial necklace sparking debate
At 27 years old, Biles is once again demonstrating all her talent in the French capital. She has three gold medals so far, in individual all-around, team all-around and vault. She has returned to the Games in style, with all the media focusing on her as she performs at her best.
For his part, Shaq retired several years ago after making NBA history. His partnership with Kobe Bryant will never be forgotten, and thanks to his charisma and personality he is a regular on American television. He has four rings and two runner-up titles to his name, as well as a regular season MVP and three Finals MVPs.
Huge height difference between them
More than half a meter between them. A huge difference that shows how you must be tall in basketball and more flexible in gymnastics.
There’s 74 centimeters between them, since Simone is 1.42 meters tall and Shaq stands at 2.16. And the photo is not as exaggerated as it could be, as Biles is wearing heels.
Comments on social media haven’t been long in coming and several joked about the matter. “The photo I didn’t know I needed,” commented one user on ‘X’. Others who even wanted him to join another athlete famous for his height: “We need the photo with Wembanyama“.
Be that as it may, the image, despite not being current, is causing a stir.
