This photo of Shaq and Simone Biles has to be seen to be believed

This has not been photoshopped. This is real.

The New England Patriots storming back to clinch the Super Bowl from a choking Atlanta Falcons wasn’t the only unbelievable thing that happened in Houston on Sunday.

The biggest sporting event in America attracts famous people from all over the world, and naturally a few of them are going to bump into each other.

One of the more unlikely pairings of the weekend was basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal and Olympic gymnastics superstar Simone Biles.

Some very important details about these two. Shaq is 7’1”. Biles is 4’8”. Bear that in mind when you look a the picture that Biles tweeted of them.

Quite apart from the thrill of seeing two sporting greats, one retired legend, the other a rising star, this head is total headfuck on an optical illusion level. Like, how can this be real?

But if you really want to mess with your mind, someone photoshopped the original picture to make Shaq the same size as Biles.

Ready?
