While college basketball remains a strong allure for basketball fans, the women’s side is quickly becoming a must-see attraction. Due to a remarkable NCAA Tournament and genuine superstars in the mix, it’s swiftly gaining popularity. During this surge in popularity, the league is ready to add another big-time name. While most of his children have taken up basketball, Shaquille O’Neal‘s youngest daughter might have the most hype. Taking part in a Nike open run tournament featuring the country’s best young stats, the 17-yo stole the show.

To add to the big occasion, a 32-year-old rapper presented the trophy to the winners. While Shaq’s ex-wife, Shaunie, cheered on her daughter, the 4x NBA champion was nowhere to be found.

An open run gym with the country’s young superstars has been a tradition for decades. So, to see Me’arah O’Neal add her name to a legendary list was further proof of her talent. As she quickly gains traction as the real deal, the outputs are seeping in as well.

Taking to her Instagram story, the youngster was all smiles as her team won the open run tournament. Getting the trophy from $80 million worth rapper Travis Scott, which was part of her IG feed, the girls in New York were understandably ecstatic.

For the tournament, taking place in Lincoln Park, New York, the Los Angeles Lakers legend’s daughter was a star at the show featuring a whole host of them. Perhaps, with a big-time lineup featuring a legendary collection of superstars, both past and present, the added attention could elevate O’Neal’s career further. However, it was Shaquille O’Neal that was missing himself.

Even though names like the Phoenix Suns duo of Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, along with the Dallas Mavericks championship-winning tandem of Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Kidd were in attendance, the 7-foot father of Me’arah was nowhere to be found.

However, not missing a single dribble of the action was her mother, Shaunie. As the choice for a college program looms in the background, this was an excellent excuse for the youngster’s showcase. In that regard, the event was a roaring success. However, the absence of her father, who remains busy with his music festival in Texas, was easily understandable.
