Shaquille O’Neal is a very famous personality. While his career as a basketball player is legendary, his post-NBA career has also been spectacular. With the fame has come a lot of connections. Whether in the business or in the entertainment world, Shaq remains a popular figure. Even with a busy career that includes DJing, and Inside The NBA duties, Shaq continues to find time for his family.

Though sometimes it is cursing at Charles Barkley for inappropriate comments toward them, at other times it is his friends cheering his daughters on. So, what caught the eye of Shaq’s best friend?

Me’arah was present at the Hélà open-court drill session hosted by Kyrie Irving. At the camp, she had an impressive outing. After Brother Shareef’s strong college career, perhaps it is baby sister Meezy that’s going to grab the highlights.

Uncle Tony certainly seems to think so. Anthony Hall is among Shaq’s closest friends. In fact, Shaq was among the first to know about his idea for remaking The White Shadow. It was around Shaq that the writing bug first hit Tony.

So, it was natural to see Tony cheering his niece on as she dominated on the open courts. The 6ft-3-and-a-half-inch high schooler received a mark of approval from Anthony. Captioning it, “My Beautiful Beast,” Tony was in proud-uncle mode.

At 17, her impressive physique has been a decisive advantage for her and could pave the way for a solid career. With women’s college basketball at the peak of its popularity due to the likes of Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark, perhaps a dominant collegiate career might be in order.

It would certainly make the world learn her name and stop Barkley’s comments!

Shaquille O’Neal threatened Charles Barkley over his ‘daughters’ remark

The story came about on a seemingly normal episode of Inside The NBA. Shaq was wishing Me’arah a happy birthday. Chuck, with his usual demeanor, piped in with a borderline offensive remark.

While Kenny tried to move forward, Shaq was furious. He immediately threatened Charles saying, “Chuck, talk about my kids again, I’m telling you…” The warning from Diesel was quite clear. That didn’t deter Chuck though. Before the show moved forward, he had one zinger left in him. He immediately responded with, “You know, you say happy birthday to all your kids, we’ll be here till like 3:30 in the morning.”
