Shareef O’Neal and Shaqir O’Neal are not the only big names in basketball from the O’Neal family. All eyes are now on the Lakers legend’s 17-year-old daughter Me’arah who is ready to take the next big step in her basketball career. One thing that Shaq has blessed his sons and daughter with is his physique. Standing as a 6’4, 154lbs center, Me’arah is making some noise even before she has entered her senior year. Keeping her talents on one hand, there seems to be someone behind Me’arah who is boosting her constantly.
It’s none other than Shaquille O’Neal’s ex-wife Shaunie Henderson. The mother-daughter bond seems to be working perfectly, which is visibly seen on their social media. The latest update is Shaunie’s cool mixtape for Me’arah which shows why the 17-year-old is the next big thing in basketball.
