"Miss You Unc": Shaquille O'Neal's Talented Daughter Me'Arah O'Neal Shares Heartfelt Post for Kobe Bryant

It has been three years since Kobe Bryant passed away. The Black Mamba was an absolute legend, not just on the basketball court, but off it as well. He was an inspiration and idol to all.

As a player, Kobe taught us the value of hard work, practice, and most of all having the right mentality. And, as a human being, he was a role model for parents, businessmen, and teachers all around the world. His loss was felt dearly and impacted many who were close to him.

One such person was Shaquille O’Neal. The two were teammates on the Los Angeles Lakers for eight years, and in that time, though they drifted apart, their families grew very close. Their children’s bond would become even stronger after they parted ways and O’Neal left Lakers. So, it is only natural that Me’Arah O’Neal, Shaq’s youngest daughter recently shared a story remembering the late legend.

Over the course of his life, Kobe Bryant has touched many lives. The man has a plethora of fans who have grown up idolizing him. But, none were as close to him as his family and friends. In particular, Shaquille O’Neal.

At one point in time, both he and Kobe were an indestructible duo. And, as a result their families naturally grew closer together. This is why, when news of Kobe’s passing came, the O’Neal household was rocked by it. After all, while he may not have been blood, he was like a brother and an uncle to Shaq and his family.

So, in honor of the Black Mamba, Me’Arah O’Neal shared a story in his memory. One that showed just how much she misses her uncle Kobe.

It just goes to show, how important a figure Bryant was. He truly was an amazing individual and will forever be remembered as one of the greatest of all time.

Kobe Bryant was known for being a high school phenomenon, and if clips of his niece Me’Arah O’Neal are anything to go by, she is too. Standing at around 6’2″, the 16-year-old looks like an exciting prospect and has already received offers from some of the most reputable basketball programs in the country.

Fans around the world will be watching her career keenly. Hopefully, she can live up to her legendary father’s name and perhaps even throw some Kobe flair in as well.
