There aren't many basketball players taller than Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal, but the Los Angeles Lakers legend may have caught his game in a recent social media video.
O'Neal posted the TikTok skit to her account on Saturday. He got into an argument with a man shorter than him, then turned around to see 7-foot-9 Florida Gators center Olivier Rieu standing behind him.

O'Neal captioned the video: “Choose the right size for you.”
Rieux made O'Neal look more like a guard than a dominant center. The 15-time All-Star was listed at 7 feet 1 inch during his playing days.
Rieux was considered the world's tallest teenager when he decided to go to Florida. Rieux was the Guinness World Record holder for the tallest teenager at 7 feet 5 inches at the age of 15. His height was 6 feet 1 inch at the age of eight. By sixth grade, he was 6 feet 11 inches. And the summer before 7th grade, it reached 7 feet.

According to Ball Is Life, Rieux has since undergone another growth spurt, gaining four inches over the past two years.
Rieux previously said on his Instagram profile that he wears size 20 shoes. His older brother is 6 feet 9 inches tall. His father is 6 feet 8 inches. His mother is 6 feet 1 inch. He played high school ball at IMG Academy and was a three-star prospect.
