    Watch Shaq delight in his 6'7 son's high school basketball dominance

    Well here's something for college and NBA fans to keep in mind for the next 3-5 years. Tape of Shaq's large adult son Shareef O'Neal went around early this season, and now there's more:





    Diesel Jr. is already 6'7 at the end of his freshman season -- Shaq was around 6'6 at the same age -- and he's got a ridiculously well-rounded game. I take it from all the shouting that Shaq himself enjoys it quite a bit.

    Even at his current size, he figures to be a serious recruit in a couple years. If he grows like his dad did ... sheesh

    Wow, he got tall! He played baseball with my son in middle school. Not his sport so much, he's way better at basketball! He grew UP since then. Nice to see him killing it on the court.

    He got Shaq's mouth though haha. Could recognize that feature instantly.

    I wonder what kind of player Shaq was as a freshman in HS. I'm sure not as fluid as his kid is. And if he grows to be 6'11-7'? Is this the way bigs are growing up these days? Another Thon Maker type kid?

    What would Shaq have been like with Kobe's work ethic. Have wondered THAT several times. No record in existence would be standing.

    Sigh... There also would have been a couple more Larry O'Briens on the Laker mantle.

    AS I said many times - Shaq with Kobe's work ethic would be GOAT, no question about it. And I don't even like Shaq. This guy dominated while being lazy and overweight.

    Exactly, and it's at the heart of why Kobe and him did not get along. How could Kobe respect Shaq as a leader when he didn't put in the work. Impossible. Shaq knew that at his core, and spun any which way he could. Too bad really. But Kobe has 5, 1 more than Snaq lol.

    Oh no Shaq's huge sons are alley-ooping each other what do we do now
    By Alysha Tsuji@AlyshaTsuji on Oct 6, 2015, 1:23p +

    Shaquille O'Neal's 15-year-old son, Shareef, has been tearing it up on the basketball court -- so much so that this summer Shaq himself admitted he's a little jealous. Just because he's jealous, though, doesn't mean he won't proudly share his son's MAJOR HOPS.

    Both Shaq's kids are in this insane alley-oop video. The angling is weird, but that's Shaq's 6'7 son Shareef slamming it down via a pass from his 12-year-old bro, Shaqir.

    The future of basketball is looking oh so bright.

    Peep a highlight reel Shareef posted to his Instagram. The kid is good.
