Do the brothers remember how O'Neal played back then?
He has super dominance on the inside, even in the face of opponents' bags, he can complete the score strongly, and the basket will tremble when he sees him.
When he retired, many people hoped that his son, Sharif O'Neal, could "inherit his father's business" and follow in his father's footsteps and enter the NBA.
Sharif O'Neal has received much attention from fans and the media since childhood. The Big Shark also intends to train him to become a professional basketball player, since childhood Sharif has received systematic training, received the guidance of many famous teachers, such as Kobe Maeddy, have been Sharif's "sparring partner".
Sharif himself is also very competitive, inheriting his father's good and excellent sports genes, and at a young age, he is a little famous.
In Sports' 2018 Class of 2018 list, Sharif ranked 20th.
But then Sharif had an "accident." He was diagnosed with a serious heart condition, had to undergo surgery and missed the entire 2018-19 season.
This also casts a shadow over Sharif's career path.
At that time, O'Neal would still expect Sharif to score glory in the NBA, and as a father, he only hoped that his son would be healthy and satisfied.
Despite this, Sharif did not give up his basketball dream. After the surgery and recovery, he returned to the court and continued to play and train.
But in February 2021, he was plagued by injuries and suffered a stress fracture in his foot.
Not long ago, Sharif made his comeback and made his debut for the new season, playing 13 minutes against Florida and scoring 4 points and 4 boards.
I hope that Sharif can play better and better and catch up with himself, who has been pinned high hopes on.
