Throughout numerous years in the NBA, fans have been treated with numerous superstars and legends who have dominated the game at will. However, most of them had a strong support system of friends and family to help them through their journey. Players like Shaquille O’Neal, Kobe Bryant, and Magic Johnson were some of the many superstars who had a calming presence back home in the form of their loving wives. Although Shaq and Shaunie parted ways over a decade ago, the Los Angeles Lakers legend’s ex-wife was instrumental in his success on the court.

Recently, Shaunie Henderson was present at an event in Atlanta to celebrate Women’s History Month. Her daughter Me’arah, among many others, was extremely excited seeing her mother appear in front of many to talk about her struggles and achievements as a woman in modern society.
