The O’Neal family is the biggest fan of their youngest member, Me’Arah. Like her father, Me’Arah has a stunning talent for basketball. Learning from her brothers, she has honed her skills to become the next phenomenon in the sport. And her family members are always present to show their support for her. Shaquille O’Neal‘s eldest daughter, Taahirah, often takes to social media to praise her sister’s achievements. Recently, Myles O’Neal also gave a sweet shout-out to his 18-year-old sister.

Myles shared a selfie on his IG Story. While it seemed like just another image, the real attention-grabber was Myles’ T-shirt. It featured a miniature art of Me’Arah embellished on it, making it quite special. The art depicted the 18-year-old wearing her Florida Gators jersey, number 8, with a basketball in her hand as if ready to hoop and score. On the side, it read, “Meezy, Me’Arah O’Neal.”

The T-shirt seemed like a customized one for Myles. He captioned the picture, “Awwwwww, look at my little sis. I am so happy for her. Me’Arah O’Neal.”

After much consideration regarding her father’s alma mater, LSU, Me’Arah decided to join the Florida Gators, aiming to help the team in its quest for the NCAA championship. She is also the first in her family, after Shaquille O’Neal, to earn a spot in the All-American Game.

While Myles wrote, “Lets gooooooooo!!!!” Taahirah wrote, “Look what you did babe! You’re unstoppable,” to congratulate her. Remarkably, her father was just 17 years old when he achieved this milestone. But, let’s get back to Me’Arah’s confession.

Me’Arah O’Neal shares a love for fashion

Apart from her passion for basketball, Me’Arah also shares a love for fashion. In a recent interview with ESPN, she was asked about her career path if she hadn’t chosen basketball. To many’s surprise, it wasn’t a different sport. For Me’Arah, basketball is the only sport she wants to chase.

And if she were ever to give it up, she would choose modeling.“I’d probably go into, like, the modeling world or, like… Something with fashion. because I love fashion,” Me’Arah declared.

While the entire O’Neal family loves fashion, it was Myles who first pursued a career in the fashion world. He started with modeling and gradually began exploring his musical interests. Even Myles’ passion for music was influenced by Shaquille O’Neal.
