Shaquille O'Neal is used to being head and shoulders above the rest but the latest picture of him and his pint-sized girlfriend take the saying to a new level - quite literally.
The 7' 1" , 300+ lbs. recently-retired probasketball player towers over reality TV starNicole 'Hoopz' Alexander, who measures a tiny 5' 2" and weighs in at barely 100 lbs.


But despite the undeniable height difference the pair were all smiles as they posed for a photo before taking in The Rise of the Planet of the Apes at a Los Angeles movie theater.
O'Neal and Alexander - who was a winner on the reality shows Flavor of Love and I Love Money -  have been dating for almost a year.


Shaq's ex-wife Shauna created the controversial reality show, Basketball Wives.
