Shaquille O’Neal shares a very colloquial relationship with his children. The basketball legend is often spotted on their social media posts doing some antics or the other. His daughter, Taahirah‘s latest post was a similar jab at the 53-year-old father who had impeccable marriage advice for her.
Taahirah O’Neal’s latest Instagram story poked fun at Shaquille O’Neal and the hilarious advice he gave her. Taking to the platform, she shared a note narrating her recent interaction with her father. As far as parental advice went, this was the most peculiar one.
Taahirah shared that Shaq called her for a specific reason, which was her marriage. That wasn’t all, she further revealed that the dedicated philanthropist encouraged her to ‘marry a lawyer’. Upon inquiry, the 28-year-old was stunned to find it was because of her excellence at holding a debate. “You need to marry a lawyer,” emphasized Shaquille O’Neal before justifying, “because you like to argue.”
Writing it on a solid background, she added a confused GIF to add to the unexpectedness of the conversation she had just had. Additionally, she added a ‘laughing uncontrollably’ sound in the background.
This wasn’t the first time Taahirah O’Neal had gotten a laugh out of her followers with her father’s shenanigans. Only recently, she posted a candid picture of Shaq, who humorously appeared to look serious. Beneath the post, she wrote her POV that his reaction was after she had asked him for Beyonce‘s concert tickets.

Notably, this was only one of those plenty of times. Apart from his illustrious records, Shaquille O’Neal is known to be a great father to his children. Approximately a month ago, he celebrated his 53rd birthday to his family’s heartfelt wishes.
From comedic to wholesome, his children brought it all with Taahira balancing a bit of both. After an adorable picture of herself with Shaq, she posted a comedic reel calling him a ‘bald father’. All fun and games aside, the NBA icon is well-lauded for taking a humble and modest approach in his parenting and inculcating that in his children.

The clip featured Shaq making his way by the camera while dance-walking. After a couple of steps, he stopped to make a dramatic turn to the camera and finish with another step. The video was the ultimate portrayal of what it was like being around him. With the video, Taahirah captioned the hysterics were because Shaq’s astrological sign was Pisces. Other posts revealed the pre-production phase of the shooting.
In another post, she fan-girled over Candace Parker over an image of the panel from the television. Notably, this wasn’t the first time Shaq’s daughter had accompanied him to his workday. Regardless, Taahirah chose to go her own path away from sports. She previously expressed her disinterest in athletes and the field overall. Unlike her siblings, Taahirah chose communications as her forte and proceeded to go in that direction.
