5 pictures of Shaq holding things from daily life and making them look tiny

Shaquille O'Neal, also called 'Shaq', is renowned for many things. He's an NBA legend, an entrepreneur, a movie star, a DJ and a TV presenter, too. One of the rare, yet hilarious things he's known for, is making things from daily life look tiny in his lengthy hands.

With a hand length of 10.5" and a hand span of almost 12", O'Neal could easily palm the basketball, which is around 29.5" in circumference. By virtue of having huge hands, he could easily dominate the rebounding glass. However, this also became a contributing factor to his especially poor shooting from a distance.

Taking note of his massive size, the LA Lakers and Miami Heat legend has garnered a lot of attention for making regular, everyday objects look tiny.

Keeping this in mind, let's take a look at five times O'Neal made daily life objects look tiny.

O'Neal had immense success as a basketball player due to his size, strength and athleticism. With the physical gifts to dominate the game, O'Neal also had some of the biggest hands the NBA has ever seen.

In many images, O'Neal is seen comfortably palming the ball with one hand. However, when seen in the context of holding it between his fingers, one realizes how truly large his hands are.

While the size of his hands was a gift, this was also a curse because it made it difficult for him to get a proper shooting grip on the ball. Given the manner in which he had to adjust his grip to shoot, it's no wonder that the big man struggled to make his free throws.
