Fans roasted Shaquille O’Neal after social media influencer Hasbulla challenged one of the best centers in NBA history to a fight – saying “we all know my boy Shaq can’t land a punch.”
Shaquille O’Neal is one of the biggest guys to ever step foot on a basketball court, and often had a huge height advantage over most of his opponents during his 19 year long career in the NBA.
However, none of those height advantages were as astronomical as the difference between Shaq and Internet sensation Hasbulla – who has challenged the NBA Hall of Famer to a fistfight.
While Shaq, who turned out for the Orlando Magic, Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat, Phoenix Suns, Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics in his career, stands at 7 feet and 1 inch, his speculated opponent Hasbullah is only 3 feet and 4 inches tall – making the influencer almost half his competitor’s size.
As a result, fans resorted to trolling Shaq by saying that “we all know my boy Shaq can’t land a punch” – as the news of Hasbulla wanting to take on the NBA legend went viral on social media.
Hasbulla Magomedov is a social media influencer hailing from Dagestan, Russia.
Hasbulla – who gained prominence in mainstream media due to his spoof videos on MMA – has millions of followers on his social media accounts.
The pint-sized social media star became famous because of his fast cars and fist fights, and has often challenged notable MMA stars like Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Hasbulla suffers from a medical condition not confirmed but widely speculated as Dwarfism or Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD)–but his sense of humour on display in his social media accounts has meant that he quickly rose to fame over the past couple of years.
To be honest to the fans who trolled Shaq for not being able to land a punch, it would be very difficult for Shaq to land a punch in a fistfight with Hasbulla indeed because of the sheer difference in size between the pair.
