Sports fans are completely mind-blown after an old image of basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal and Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast Simone Biles resurfaced on social media.

Shaquille O’Neal dominated the NBA landscape thanks to his size (7-foot-1) and elite athleticism. As for the 4-foot-8 Simone Biles, she has put together an excellent case as the greatest gymnast of all tiime, having just won two more Olympic gold medals at the 2024 games in Paris.

The @DraftKings X/Twitter recently shared a photo of O’Neal and Biles from 2017. The photo was taken at Super Bowl 51 in Houston, Texas seven years ago:

And sports fans had all sorts of hysterical reactions to this viral image of Shaquille O’Neal standing beside Simone Biles. Even with the latter wearing heels, the height difference is astonishing to see:

Shaquille O’Neal was a 15-time All-Star who won four NBA championships, leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a three-peat with Kobe Bryant (2000 to ’02). He won his fourth ring with Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat in 2006.

Biles now has nine Olympic medals (six gold, one silver and two bronze). Only four female gymnasts have more Olympic medals than Biles: Larisa Latynina (18), Věra Čáslavská (11), Ágnes Keleti (10) and Polina Astakhova (10).

It’s hard to predict the future four years in advance, but Biles would have the golden opportunity to climb the leaderboard if she returned for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Biles will be 31 years old then.

Shaquille O’Neal Will Be A Free Agent Next Year

O’Neal has had a successful NBA analyst career on TNT, but the network suffered a giant blow last month when it lost basketball coverage after the league signed new TV contracts.

Shaq and fellow Hall of Famer Charles Barkley have been two of the most entertaining sports media personalities since teaming up on TNT. But both men should be highly-coveted when they become free agents following the expiration of TNT’s deal with the NBA next year.

Latest Photo Of Jason Kelce’s Shocking Body Transformation Confirms He Won’t Be Coming Out Of Retirement Anytime Soon

Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason Kelce all but confirmed that he’ll never come out of retirement after revealing a remarkable offseason body transformation.

Though he was still at the top of his game last year, Jason Kelce decided to hang up the cleats on his illustrious career that will lead to a spot in the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.

Because Kelce was playing at a high level in his age-36 season, many fans can’t help but wonder if he’d come out of retirement and return to the Eagles — especially if they’re in Super Bowl contention.

But during an interview with the Associated Press, Jason Kelce made it clear that a comeback is not happening. Kelce cited that the Eagles won’t be calling him back after his drastic offseason weight loss:

“They’re not going to call me to come back and play center at 260 pounds, and I’m moving on to the next thing and I’m excited to watch Cam (Jurgens). I really think Cam is going to be tremendous this year. He’s going to really show people how great of a player he is.

He was good for us last year at right guard and he’s going to flourish at center. And for me personally, my days of playing are just done and I do not foresee any scenario taking place other than maybe medicine inventing a way to get rid of arthritis that I would ever entertain coming back at all anymore.”
