Ever since making the league, Shaquille O’Neal has been a hilarious personality. His on-court antics were always comedic. After retirement, the Big Diesel is part of the Inside the NBA crew. His banter on that show is always lively and keeps the audience entertained. However, it seems now he is going on a war with his elder son, Shareef.

Shaq is always up for fun and has had many moments in his life. From being one of the most dominating players all the way to becoming a DJ, O’Neal knows how to keep it light. However, another thing he cherishes is his family. Shaq is a great father to all his kids and is always showing them support. He even helps out in basketball in their basketball training.

Recently, Shareef O’Neal made a post on Instagram. For the sake of comedy, Shareef said he was waiting for pop star Rihanna, saying ‘Waiting for Rihanna like‘. While it seems the joke ends there, his father Shaq had to get a piece of it. The Hall of Famer gave an epic reply to his elder son in the comments.

Shaquille O’Neal said: “She don’t want you. She want me. I’m sexier.”

Pulling one of his own sons, Shaq can never get out of his natural element. When it comes to serious times, Shaq has always been there for Shareef. Three years ago, Shareef went through a tough phase and had to get heart surgery. Despite being in such a tough spot, Shaq was there for him the whole time as a father.

Shareef’s mother late confirmed that the condition could have been fatal. However, now Shareef has fought through it and is leading an inspiring comeback back into basketball. While the father-son banter comes through, there is no doubt the O’Neal’s share a deep bond.
