Shaquille O’Neal dunks on his son Shareef

Robert Horry said that the children of former players will have always a huge pressure to make it big in the league like Shareef and Scotty Pippen Jr. Jenners said, “I went to his house one day to drop some stuff off. And he’s dunking on Shareef. ‘What the hell are you doing?’ He goes, ‘I’m drilling him on defense…'” Rob said that the Lakers legend wanted an aggressive response from his son. He wanted Shareef to push him off his spot.

Rob continued, “And he goes ‘Imma do this until he pushes me off my spot.’ …I guess he was just trying to teach him. ‘If you are not aggressive, I’m gonna just throw this down on your head a hundred times. And you are gonna learn.'”
