Despite being his father, Shaquille O’Neal shares a pretty wholesome relationship with his 26-year-old son. The young adult is often known to take to social media, just like his father, in order to share the latest updates on his personal and professional life. Myles recently went on Instagram to share a video featuring one of his father’s weird traits.
In fact, he exposed this trait last year as well on Big Diesel’s 51st birthday.

Both Shaquille O’Neal and his millionaire stepson, Myles O’Neal, recently took a trip to Paris to be a part of the 2023 Lollapalooza event. Going under the name of DJ Diesel, Shaq is known to perform at various events as a disc jockey. While the father-son duo crossed the Atlantic on their private jet, Myles captured a glimpse of Shaq’s feet. More specifically, his toes, which the 4-time champion had coated with green nail polish.

He then turned the camera towards Shaq, who let out a big toothy smile towards his son. Myles captioned the post “@shaq man o man”, taking a dig at the feet that dominated the world of basketball for over 19 years.
Shaq’s large stature has always been a source of discomfort towards his feet. The problems he caused to his feet during his career with the NBA were one of the primary reasons for his retiring in 2011.
Myles O’Neal did it first almost a year ago
This isn’t the only moment when Myles has exposed his father’s feet on the internet.
Last year, as Shaq celebrated his 51 birthday, Myles took an unconventional approach to wish the Los Angeles Lakers legend on this joyous occasion. He reshared an old video on Instagram.
The video was taken in a similar fashion as the one above, with Myles walking up to his father and showing a sight of his feet, with the same song playing in the background. This time, Shaq was applying some ointment to his foot whilst interacting with another person. The Big Shamrock looked at the camera for only a few moments before turning back.

Myles captioned the post “I couldn’t let him get away with this.” It drew reactions from various people, including rapper JoJo Simmons. Even with his feet problems, Shaq takes it all in his stride. Instead of dwelling upon his problem, Shaq has often used his influence to roast the feet of other NBA players.
