In the NBA, there are benefits to being 7 feet 1 inch tall and 300–400 pounds. Shaquille O’Neal discovered the hard way at Knott’s Berry Farm, though, that in real life, that length and weight can lead to serious problems.
The Hall of Famer remembered going to the theme park two years prior and, because of his large physique, having a bad ride experience. He tweeted after his terrible outing, and he provided a screenshot of that message. In the first tirade he wrote:
“I’m at knots berry farms n my bu**s 2 big 2 fit in da seats on ride. ahhhhhh (dats me yellin).”

O’Neal was probably eager to see the well-known theme park, which has been open since 1920 and is still going strong, as he has always been an adventurer. It’s often referred to as the friendliest location in the West or America’s first theme park. Sadly, the legendary Lakers player’s experience wasn’t as enjoyable as it seemed.
Should O’Neal have reposted the message in an attempt to win over fans or get Knott’s Berry Farm to add larger seats so he could ride the attractions, he would have failed miserably as fans ridiculed the Hall of Famer. Someone questioned if he had ever been able to resolve the “big” problem.
