The 23-year-old son of Shaquille O’Neal has been facing a lot of disrespect of late. Once with the LSU Tigers, the youngster was a dominant force on the court just like his father. Although he is yet to cover a long way to reach his dad’s legacy, he did face some major setbacks at a young age. However, a few have not put that into consideration as they continue to disrespect him. Well, the 23-year-old did not hold back. Replying to the hate, the youngster just made some noise on Instagram.
Unsurprisingly, Shaq’s 17-year-old daughter joined in to support her brother. Sharing some promising words, the young baller gave the perfect reply to the haters!

17YO daughter of Shaquille O’Neal has some strong words
Shareef O’Neal did not have an easy life. After joining LSU, the 23-year-old had to go through a miserable open-heart surgery that once stunned the NBA world. Escaping a literal do-or-die situation, Shareef did whatever it took to get back on the court only for basketball.
Although he received a lot of appreciation for it initially, things took a turn when his performance was not the same.

In addition, social media users went overboard by filling the comments of his Instagram post with some disrespectful takes. Often, Shareef was reminded about his failure to make it into the NBA. Guess who decided to back the 23-year-old? His sister Me’arah O’Neal.
The 17-year-old shared Shareef’s post on her Instagram, with the caption.“Don’t eva tolerate disrespect… tellin y’all just watch,” as a warning of what’s yet to come.

Me’arah is entering her final year of schooling and has already received college offers from top universities. The 17-year-old is already 6’4, drawing comparisons to the size advantage boasted by her legendary father. Of course, the height gene was passed down to Shareef as well.
Shareef O’Neal gives a warning too
Compiling a mixtape of his highlights, Shareef shared on his Instagram, “I see all the talk.. ion tolerate disrespect.. bet . It’s time to wake em up.”

Shareef represented the Los Angeles Lakers in the G-League a few years ago.
Now playing for the G-League Ignite team, the 6’10 baller is yet to make it to the NBA. Although the heart surgery was a huge hindrance once, looks like Shareef has got his rhythm back! It’s time to witness some action.
