**Las Vegas, NV** – While Shareef O’Neal’s recent signing with the Sacramento Kings makes headlines, his father, NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal, is more excited about his son’s work with Reebok. Shareef, who has overcome a life-threatening cardiac condition, is now the president of Reebok’s basketball division and has been instrumental in the brand’s comeback.
Shareef’s impact on Reebok has been significant. He worked behind the scenes to develop the Reebok Engine A, the brand’s first basketball performance shoe since 2015, and played a key role in signing basketball star Angel Reese.
This success has allowed Shareef to step out of his father’s shadow and carve his own path. “I get more, ‘Hey man, I met Shareef, he’s a fine young man. Man, Shareef over here working in Reebok and he’s helping us out…’ like that’s what it’s all about to me,” Shaquille O’Neal shared.
Shareef’s NBA comeback with the Kings comes as a bonus for the family. He went undrafted in 2022, but his recent work ethic and dedication to the game have earned him a one-year contract worth $1.157,153. While Shaq is happy for his son’s success on the court, he is ultimately more proud of the man Shareef is becoming, both on and off the court.
“I just let them live that life,” Shaquille O’Neal said about his children. “They’re grown, and I’m always there for them, but I want them to be themselves.”
Shareef’s story serves as an inspiring reminder that talent and dedication can lead to success, even in the face of adversity. While he may be “Shaq’s son,” he is now making his own mark on the world, and his work with Reebok is proving to be his most impactful achievement yet.
