It’s Father’s Day and sons and daughters around the world are busy giving their father’s their best. The same goes for NBA superstars, with many father’s still in the league and some sons in there as well. A perfect example is Shareef O’Neal. The son of Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal currently plays with the NBA G League Ignite. Well, he dug up some old pictures of his father with Kobe Bryant and Hulk Hogan, sharing these along with his love for his old man via Instagram.

Shareef O’Neal took the time to wish his father Shaquille O’Neal a happy Father’s Day with some throwback photos. Sharing them on his IG story, the photos all feature Shaq with some very significant figures in his life.
The first picture in question shows Shaq with one of Shareef’s “uncles”, Kobe Bryant. The next two saw a young O’Neal having the time of his life, shooting a promo with legendary wrestler Hulk Hogan and having fun at what seems to be a water park on top of a swim ring. However, it is the last photo that really tugs at the heartstrings.
In what can only be described as an incredibly cute picture, The Big Aristotle can be seen lost in thought as he holds up baby Shareef who he is twining with thanks to the oversized leather jackets they are both wearing.
