Shaqir O’Neal Biography

Shaqir O’Neal is an American basketball player who is currently a student at Crossroads High School in Santa Monica, California. He is the third of four children of NBA Hall of Fame center, Shaquille O'Neal, and his former wife and reality television personality, Shaunie Nelson. A California native, Shaqir has always wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps into the world of basketball. He seems to have inherited Shaquille’s height and had already been six feet three inches tall as of late 2018. While his older brother, Shareef O'Neal, who is also pursuing a career in professional basketball, is more popular among the two, Shaqir is also steadily gaining popularity. He has been developing his skills in the California Interscholastic Federation league. By significantly contributing to several wins of his team, he has recently drawn media attention, with many people speculating on his prospects. Unlike his father, who is built like a tank, Shaqir is lean, fast, and agile. His skill set is similar to that of his brother in the sense that both rely on their mobility and speed to score points.
