Shaquille O’Neal is one of the greatest centers to ever play basketball. There were multiple instances of how good and dominant Shaq was in his prime. Every match, every season, Shaq seemed to improve his game.
He was absolutely dominant. There were very few players who had the impact that Shaq had. From defending to scoring points. From rebounds to scoring absolutely insane dunks. Shaq had it all in his arsenal. He could change a game at any given time and helped his team play better exponentially.

The true legend of the game won everything there is to win the NBA. Along with Kobe, he absolutely dominated the NBA. The duo won the three-peat with the Lakers.

Shaq had a lot of strengths, but the only weaknesses he had were the three-pointers and free throws. Consequently, Shaq only had one three pointer in his whole career and struggled a lot with his free throws as well. But that is something his daughter does not seem to struggle with.

Me’arah O’Neal is following in her father’s footsteps, and it’s safe to say learning not only from his strengths but also his weaknesses.
