NBA Fans Poke Fun at Shaquille O’Neal After His Son Roasts Him Hinting at a Lie About His 7ft Height

Shaquille O’Neal is a former NBA center with a career to remember as he is considered to be one the greatest ever at his position in NBA history. His size, physique, and presence on the court made him one of the most important players in the league. He started his career with the Orlando Magic. They drafted him in the 1992 NBA draft. At 7’1 and 325 lbs, he became one of the best centers in the NBA pretty quickly. 

Other than being one of the legends of the game in its whole history, Shaq off the court is also just as big as he is on the court. They are endless instances of his humbleness and generosity. He always remembers where he came from and never thinks twice before helping someone. He shows his gratitude towards his privilege and success by showering blessings onto others with his “Acts of Shaqness”.

Shaquille and Shareef O’Neal – Like father like son

Shareef O’Neal, Shaq‘s son, is currently at the start of his career as a basketball player and who better to get inspired from than his own old man. At 22, just like Shaq, he has a good height, which helps in his game development. He is yet to have his moment hoping for a spot in the NBA soon in the future. However, for now, he plays for Louisiana State University.

Apart from following in his father’s footsteps as a basketballer, he also has his sense of humor.

He roasted his father by joking about the big man’s height. He posted pictures of them courtside and jokingly doubted his father’s 7’1 height.

Watch This Story: Shaq and tallest NBA players.

NBA twitter loved the joke by Shareef and joined him hysterically.

I like how you mentioned shoes but not his fluffed up hair. It’s funny when kids fluff their hair up to seem 3-4 inches taller. Like why post this

We all love a good to and fro among fans roasting and joking about something or the other. And NBA fans obviously love the O’Neal father-son duo.

Shaq was a sensation ever since he arrived in NBA. If his son could replicate even a tiny part of his career, he would surely be an upcoming NBA Superstar. He sure knows how his father appreciates staying down to earth and humble. Shaq’s values to his son must teach him the value of hard work and showing gratitude towards the privilege. We might just see Shareef in the NBA soon and it would not be surprising if he is half a decent player as his father.

Do you look forward to seeing Shareef in the NBA? Let us know in the comments below.
