Shaquille O’Neal had an unprecedented impact on the NBA throughout the course of his dominant career. The Big Aristotle not only wowed people on the court with his incredible athleticism, but managed to win over people off the court as well with his kind and gentle behavior. His endearing nature off the court made him a crowd favorite and people genuinely started caring for him and his family. The tight-knit O’Neal family has come a long way since Shaq’s playing days. Shaq and his then-wife Shaunie separated over a decade ago, after which Shaunie remarried in 2022. However, despite all the hardships and challenges, the former couple has maintained a healthy relationship with their children.

Recently, Shaunie Henderson and her new husband Keion Henderson decided to spend some quality time with Shareef O’Neal during his G-League Ignite game. Notably, Shareef seemed to get along perfectly with her mother’s new partner and his extended family.

Shaunie Henderson decided to support her son in his G-League game against the Austin Spurs. The mother of the 23-year-old rising star attended the game with her husband and extended family to support Shareef. The duo was spotted courtside enjoying the game in their recent Instagram stories. The Henderson family also were in attendance as they supported Shareef on his win against Spurs. The G-League Ignite defeated the Austin Spurs 106-99, as Shareef’s proud mother and her husband watched proudly.

The Instagram story also had Shareef holding his Godson, a young member of the Henderson family. Safe to say, “Godbrother” Shareef and his mother were enjoying a little bit of family time after the win.

It’s pleasant to see the mother and son duo sticking together even after a drastic changes in the family dynamics. The O’Neal family has managed to stick together through thick and thin over the years. Especially, during Shareef’s life-threatening diagnosis back in 2018. The ex-couple came together to help their child go through an incredibly tough time at the age of just 18.
