“Me’Arah Is The Coldest O’Neal!”: Shaquille O’Neal’s Son, Shareef, Sings His Little Sister’s Praise As She Continues To Impress

Shaquille O’Neal, with the way his NBA career went, is bound to have children with the physical capabilities to at least try to play sports professionally. The 7’1 Hall-of-Fame established himself as the most dominant player in league history during his 19 years, with him claiming that he is second only to Wilt Chamberlain.

Shaq’s kids seem to be wanting to carry on in his footsteps as well as his oldest son with Shaunie Henderson, Shareef, is currently trying to work his way up the G-League ladder to snag a contract with an NBA team.

Shaqir O’Neal is playing collegiate level ball at Texas Southern and while he isn’t getting much run time, he continues to strive towards his goal of potentially playing basketball professionally while also recently having celebrated his 20th birthday. However. The most interesting O’Neal as of 2023 when it comes to promise on basketball hardwood is his youngest daughter, Me’Arah.

Shaquille O’Neal and his son praise Me’Arah for her stellar play

Me’Arah O’Neal is a 6’3 junior playing out of the state of California who is going to enter into her senior season. She’s already been recruited by the likes of UCLA and other Division 1 schools, making her the second O’Neal to potentially become a Bruin (Shareef was a UCLA Bruin).

Shareef, her older brother, is clearly incredibly impressed with his sister and the progress she’s making out on the court. So much so that he labelled her the ‘coldest O’Neal’ in a recent Instagram story where he posted a mixtape of hers with 21 Savage playing in the background.

Me’Arah O’Neal’s stats

Her stats as a freshman were not all too impressive as she posted up 5.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 2.5 blocks per game. However, she’s since grown and has increased her vertical to the point where she can dunk with ease. She’s currently a 4-star recruit for the Class of 2024 for ESPN.

Shareef O’Neal, despite showing a lot of promise in his youth (even putting his Shaquille O’Neal on a poster at the age of 16), has been playing mediocre basketball in the G-League. In the 20 games he played in 2022-23, he averaged 5.6 points and 3.2 rebounds a night in 15.5 minutes of runtime.
