LeBron attends Myles O’Neal’s Birthday bash in Miami
Incidentally, Shaquille O’Neal’s son Myles O’Neal had his birthday bash as Max Verstappen snatched a well-deserved victory over Charles Leclerc in the first-ever Miami GP.
Myles celebrated his 25th birthday with a Lakers legend. No, not his father Shaq. LeBron James dropped by the young DJ’s party while he was attending the race.

Myles posted a picture on Instagram of him and LeBron enjoying the occasion on Sunday, along with his brother, Shareef O’Neal. The up-and-coming DJ, who also starred in the E! reality tv show ‘Relatively Famous: Ranch Rules’ and a bunch of other shows, had the time of his life this weekend in Miami with his friends and family.
This season has not been the kindest to LeBron and the Lakers, to say the least. The purple and gold roster comprised five future Hall-of-Famers and two MVPs. But they still failed miserably to qualify, even for the play-in tournament.
However, LeBron was phenomenal as usual, even at 37. He averaged a staggering 30.3 points, 8.2 rebounds and 6.2 assists. It is safe to say he’s earned his rest in the offseason.
Race-day in Miami: Verstappen inches closer to Leclerc

Although Leclerc started on pole position, he had to settle for P2. Hamilton was disappointed again with a paltry P6.
In the Constructors’ championship, Ferrari leads Red Bull by 6 points. Mercedes is currently languishing at third place with almost a 60-point deficit.
