Shaquille O’Neal’s family has a lot of talented hoopers. It is no surprise that most of them are promising athletes considering their genetic pool. But out of the entire bunch, Me’Arah is looking to be the most promising. Her idols in the realm of basketball aren’t limited to her father however as she has a ton of love for others, in particular, Kyrie Irving.

Me’Arah(Meezy) has recently called Irving “one of the greatest ever” on her Instagram while posting a picture with the Dallas guard. Given that Irving is widely regarded as one of the most skilled hoopers across history, this compliment isn’t surprising.

A top NCAA prospect, the 17-year-old was seen taking part at Camp Hela, which is run by Kyrie Irving. After her workout at the camp, Me’Arah posted a picture with Kai, thanking him for the experience, and also calling the Mavericks guard “one of the greatest players ever“.
Me’Arah has already received multiple D1 offers from the likes of Lousiana State University and UCLA.
The Crossroads forward was even chosen to be part of the prestigious EYBL Nike tournament which is an invitation-only league for the top high school prospects. But Me’Arah seems to be taking her dream to make the WNBA very seriously.
‘Meezy’s’ success surely puts a smile on Kai’s face as he’s been an incredible advocate for women’s basketball over the years, like his mentor, Kobe Bryant. During a presser for the Dallas Mavericks, Irving went on to say:
“It’s supposed to be a great game that’s meant for both male and female. You just got to make space for it in our world. Just seeing how much of a popularity women’s sports is becoming; it was already popular in my household.”
