On March 29, Beijing time, according to the American media Stadium reporter Jeff Goodman, the eldest son of NBA legendary center O'Neal, Sharif O'Neill, transferred to another school, and he left his father's alma mater, Louisiana State University. In the NCAA career, Sharif played for his father's alma mater, Louisiana State University, averaging only 2.8 points per game, and the highest single-game score in his career was only 9 points, which undoubtedly made such a performance basically unable to impact the NBA.
There are many examples of father-son inheritance in the NBA, such as Kobe, Curry, Thompson, etc., whose fathers were once NBA players.
As one of the most dominant centers in NBA history, O'Neal has two sons, 22-year-old Sharif and 19-year-old Shakir, and is also expected that his son will enter the NBA in the future.
O'Neill's eldest son, Sharif, entered the public eye early, especially his relationship with Kobe Bryant, who also mentored Sharif many times as an uncle. It's just that Sharif wants to enter the NBA is unlikely, after all, he once underwent surgery for heart problems in the 2018-19 season, which led to his season being completely reimbursed. In his two seasons at UCLA, Sharif played just 13 games, his best of which was eight points and 11 rebounds.
After that, Sharif transferred to Louisiana State University, his father O'Neal's alma mater, for the past two seasons, but he has only played 24 games in total, and only entered the rotation lineup to play 14 games until the end of the season. Sharif averaged just 2.8 points per game in two seasons, and the NCAA's career high was on Feb. 26 of this year, with 9 points and 7 rebounds.
There is no doubt that Sharif's basketball career has been greatly constrained by heart surgery, and his performance of less than 3 points per game, plus the highest score of only 9 points, is also considered to be basically impossible to enter the NBA.
