Zlatan bumped into 7ft 1in NBA legend Shaq O’Neal at LA Lakers game

Former United Star, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has finally met someone he looks up to, as the Los Angeles Galaxy star found himself dwarfed by the enormous 7ft 1in frame of Shaquille O’Neal.

The Swedish striker has been touring LA’s sporting highlights and watched the NBA game between the Lakers and the Minnesota Timberwolves at Staples Center on Saturday night.

There, he bumped into basketball legend O’Neal and the pair enjoyed a chat. Zlatan posted the picture on his Instagram account on Monday with the caption ‘XL vs XXXL’.

Ibrahimovic, a mere 6ft 5in to O’Neal’s 7ft 1in, joined the Galaxy last month after leaving Manchester United and made an instant impact with two goals on his Major League Soccer debut against local rivals LAFC.
