NBA icon Shaquille O’Neal has had a major influence on his kids along with countless people from around the world. Three of his children have made attempts to follow in their father’s footsteps and make their mark in professional basketball.

Following them, Shaq’s youngest daughter, Me’arah, is coming fresh off an astounding high school career. Her dominance over the basketball court has placed her as the No. 35-rated recruit in the 2024 class.
