Like father, like daughter. Shaquille O’Neal‘s daughter doesn’t hesitate to give credit where it’s due. After a great high school career at Episcopal High in Dallas, Me’Arah is now playing for the Florida Gators. Well, as her former teammate’s latest action on the court went viral, the 18-year-old seemingly couldn’t help but share her reaction with her Instagram followers.

She reacted to the rising star, Bella Hines’ highlight, with one word. 

Taking to social media, O’Neal shared a special highlight clip of Hines’ latest game on her IG story. At one point during the third quarter of the matchup, when her opponent was closely guarding or attempting to steal the ball from Hines, she seemingly pushed her and ended that with a successful shot.

This particular moment is going viral on social media. The prolific scorer’s friends and fans have been constantly sharing the highlights on IG, just like Me’Arah did. The 18-year-old shared it on her IG story and wrote, “yo this is diabolical b….” 

The original post, for its part, was captioned, “Bella!!! This was disgusting! 🤢 @bellahines.3”

It was perhaps at Cy Fair Elite when both the Los Angeles Lakers legend’s daughter and Hines got to see more of each other’s game. Speaking of having played together at the Cyfair Elite, the five-star class of 2025 prospect said, “I fit in really well with this program. Being on a team full of ranked players has just really boosted all of our exposure in general, and playing with Shaq’s daughter doesn’t hurt.” 

Hines has also recently signed a deal with the Jordan Brand as well.

She is the No. 25 overall player as per the 247Sports composite rankings. Recently, she also set a new record with 3,018 career points in high school. Her deal with Jordan Brand was secured in November 2024, with the brand’s history with NBA greats like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant playing a significant role in enticing Hines.

In a conversation with Forbes’ Mat Issa, a Jordan Brand spokesperson noted, “We’re excited to have Bella Hines join the Jordan Brand Family. She’s a remarkable young talent who is joining an athlete roster that represents greatness for the next generation.”

On the same day, it was announced that Hines would be joining the LSU Tigers for the 2025-26 season. LSU, which won its first national title in 2023, has already seen star players like Angel Reese and Flau’Jae Johnson. Now, with Hines on the roster, the team’s future looks even brighter. This also marks a new height in Hines’ rising popularity, which is sure to only grow from here.
