How tall is Shareef O’Neal?

After Shaq showed up to LSU to support Shareef during one of his games, basketball sleuths began to speculate about Shareef’s height.

A day after the game on February 27, Shareef took to Twitter to chime in on the height speculation.

Posting pictures of himself and his famous father, the college athlete said: “Either I’m not 6’10 or he’s not 7’1,” with laughing and detective emojis.

On February 28, Shaq replied to his son and tweeted: “Secrets out, I’m 5’11.”

The official LSU website states Shareef’s height is 6’10.

Who is Shareef’s brother, Myles?

Shaq’s son and Shareef’s older brother, Myles, garners attention in his own right separate from their legendary NBA father.

Over the years, Myles was seen in a number of shows including Shaunie’s Home Court, Basketball Wives, The Hills: New Beginnings, and Shaq Life.

In January of 2022, Myles joined E!’s reality series Relatively Famous: Ranch Rules, which follows eight celebrity offspring who “come together to live and work as ranch hands for four weeks in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, hoping to prove to themselves, their parents, and the world that they are more than their last names.”

Myles and Shareef’s other siblings include Taahirah, Amirah, Shaqir, and Me’arah.
