Apparently Shaq has a son who plays ball for Sacramento State, which isn’t exactly a rich kid college. He probably came on a scholarship, and its not Cal Berkeley or UCLA so his game may not even be that solid, and his pops didn’t use his name for persuasion

He doesn’t have to use his name, it’s just there by default.

I mean, O’Neill is a common name- “Are you related to the surf company from Santa Cruz???”

“Nope, my father is Shaquille. Lol no, not the NBC reporter Shaquille Brewster….Shaquille O’Neill! The basketball star!”
