A former Knicks player who is now a coach provided insights into Me’Arah’s abilities and playing style in a recent interview from ESPN. He commented on how good she was at making free throws, something even her father, who was well-known for his domination on the court, admits to. Me’Arah can succeed on her own because of her variety and grace, especially when it comes to the perimeter and mid-range games.

Moochie Norris, an American former basketball player and trainer, stated, “She has unlimited range, she makes free throws.” He continued, “We know Shaq was like one of the most dominant players to ever play this game, she’s not even trying to be that, she’s going to be effective on the B box and around the basket but her game is so much more out on the perimeter in the mid-range cuz she can actually handle it and shoot it so she’ll pay her own way.”
