When Shaquille was 12, his father, Sgt. Philip Harrison, transferred to an Army base in Wildflecken, West Germany. Around that time, the youngster youngsterbeganto grow at a phenomenalphenomenal pace. At 13, he was 6'6" and wore size 17 shoes. "We'd buy him pants on the [Army] post on Saturday and the next Friday they wouldn't fit," Harrison told Sports Illustrated. Eventually, the family had to order custom-made clothes from the United States. Sometimes, they were too small before they reached Germany.
