Being the son of an NBA legend comes with some perks, but it also comes with plenty of demands. Those who decide to pursue a career in college basketball are always measured up to their parents.
That has been the case with Florida A&M junior forward Shaqir OāNeal, one of Shaquille OāNealās sons. Needless to say, he hasnāt been as dominant as his old man.
Even so, itās safe to say that heās all set for life already. Heās valued at $804,000 on NIL deals, and heās the son of one of the wealthiest athletes on Earth. That was evident again when he took to Instagram to showcase his new Christmas present.

Shaqir is thriving with the Rattlers
OāNeal didnāt find much success with the Texas Southern Tigers. He transferred to the Rattlers this summer, and heās now averaging 9.6 points and 3.8 rebounds per game on 52.1% from the floor:
āI always knew about FAMU, I love the school,ā OāNeal said about the Rattlers. āI donāt regret my decision at all. The fan base here is amazing. I love my teammates. The coaches hold me accountable and gave me a chance, which many places didnāt. Thatās all I could ask for.ā

Needless to say, his chances of having a career like his fatherās are close to none, and he might not even make it to the NBA. Heāll have to prove heās worthy of that opportunity in the second half of the season.
