Accused of Cheating by His Daughter, Shaquille O’Neal Faces Public Protest in Hilarious Series of Events

Despite being one of the most dominant inside scorers in league history, Shaquille O’Neal was a horrible shooter. During his 19 seasons in the NBA, he made only a single three-pointer. However, he was worse from the free-throw line. The 4x NBA champion has a career average of 53% from the charity stripe. But recently he stunned everyone when he took part in a shooting contest with a pro basketball trainer in the presence of his daughter. The 51-year-old somehow managed to win the contest but it didn’t come without him being accused of cheating.

Shaquille O’Neal attempted just 22 three-pointers throughout the course of his career and made only one. Therefore, the reactions to the contest were hilarious, and it even forced 17-year-old Me’Arah O’Neal to ask her father to do it again.

Shaq’s very own daughter who’s set to make her NCAA debut reposted the hilarious clip and captioned it, “pops def cheated.” Me’Arah O’Neal, who’s got a ton of offers from various universities from around the country, has put the basketball world on notice by showing off her ability to dominate the paint.
