At every level of basketball, Shaquille O’Neal dominated. With the LSU Tigers, he was a two-time Consensus First-Team All-American selection. The No. 1 overall pick of the 1992 NBA Draft by the Orlando Magic won four NBA Championships with the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat, earned three NBA Finals MVP awards, was a 15-time NBA All-Star, and was the league’s Most Valuable Player in 2000 alongside the late, great Kobe Bryant. Shaq finished his career playing stints with the Phoenix Suns, Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics. He was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2016.

One of the greatest players in NBA history carried his monumental legacy on the floor into a massive impact off of it. He and ex-wife Shaunie O’Neal, an executive producer of the reality TV show Basketball Wives, had four children together, plus share two others from past relationships.

The oldest is Shareef O’Neal, a prized college basketball recruit who currently plays for the LSU Tigers, his father’s alma mater. Shareef is 6-foot-10 and was rated as a four-star prospect during his high school career in California. He transferred to LSU from UCLA in February 2020.

Amirah O’Neal was also a standout high school basketball player at Crossroads School in Santa Monica. “Mimi” was an honorable mention to MaxPreps‘ 2019 California All-State Girls Basketball Team as a junior. She’s undecided about where she plans to play college basketball as the coronavirus pandemic cut her senior season short in 2020.

Shaqir O’Neal is rated as the 14th-best player in Georgia for the Class of 2021. O’Neal plays for Union Grove High School and was dunking in games at 15 years old.

Me’arah O’Neal? She’s not even in high school and is already close to throwing down a dunk. Her highlights are already popping up on social media, and she very easily could end up being the best of the bunch.

Shaq shares another daughter from a previous relationship with Arnetta Yardbourgh. Taahirah O’Neal was born in July 1996 and works with charities and philanthropic causes in Atlanta, Georgia. She earned her Sociology degree from Oglethorpe University.

Myles O’Neal is not Shaq’s biological son, but was born to Shaunie Nelson from a previous relationship. Regardless, Myles maintains a close relationship with Shaq and is building a growing following on social media as a fashion influencer and photographer.

There's never a dull moment at Shaq's house.
