Shareef O’Neal Sparks Speculations With Thinly Veiled Message on Father Shaquille O’Neal’s Return to the NBA in New Avatar

NBA legend and Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal is one of the greatest to ever do it in the sport of basketball. And now he is making even more headlines as he said he would want to one day coach a team in the NBA.

Shaq has some experience in the area, as he has coached his son, Shareef O’Neal and his teams in the past. He has even led them to a championship.

When the Los Angeles Lakers were searching for a new head coach, Shaq put his name in the hat. He said that he wouldn’t mind coaching the Lakers for $25 Million a year. Shaq might have been joking but his son doesn’t think so. He believes his father can be a good coach and can pull it off in the NBA.

Shareef says his father, Shaquille O’Neal can coach

Shareef was asked by TMZ what he thought about Shaq coaching in the NBA. He said, “I mean, he’s coached a few of my teams. My last AAU tournament, he coached into a championship. I don’t know, you got to ask him. I don’t know what he wants to do, I know he’ll coach if he wants to. But he knows basketball pretty well as people can see.”

Shaq is without a doubt one of the greatest. He is considered by many to be the most dominant player in NBA history. He won a total of four championships, three Finals MVPs and a league MVP as well.

But since leaving the NBA, Shaq has been very busy. He is now a DJ, an entrepreneur, and a basketball analyst. He is also extremely busy with his business expansions. So if any team wants Shaq to have the head coach role, they would have to pay an absurd amount of money to get the Big Man onboard.

But he does seem to have what it takes to coach in the NBA, at least according to his son, Shareef. And Shaq is a winner and he will find a way to win wherever he goes.

Do you think Shaq would do well as a coach in the NBA? Which team do you believe should sign him up?
