Shareef O’Neal, the eldest son of Shaquille O’Neal, once rattled the rim at a local gym with rap superstar Quavo. The multi-millionaire rapper hurled a few loose balls towards the hoop which were put down with resounding force by Shareef. The up-and-coming hooper had some fun after a grueling practice session under the watchful scrutiny of his father, Shaquille O’Neal.
Shaquille O’Neal is pretty tough on his sons, Shareef and Shaqir. In fact, the Big Diesel intends to forge both the aspiring basketball players in the same fire his father forged him. As a result, he is very strict with them at all times.
