Being the son of a former NBA player comes with certain perks.
For one, you usually win the genetic lottery and are blessed with size, speed and/or athleticism. Two, you also get access to some of the best coaches and facilities on the planet.
Take, for example, this pick-up game between the sons of Shaquille O'Neal and Jason "White Chocolate" Williams, which took place at a full-size practice court at Shaq's house in Orlando.
Here we see Shaq's son Shareef O'Neal, the No. 20 player in the class of 2018 according to 247Sports, taking on Jaxon Williams, who has already showed likeness to his father in various mixtapes.
Shaq's other son, Shaqir, also shows up to join in on the fun.
Now of course it's unfair to say any of these kids will grow up to be as good as their fathers, but showing off skills like that -- at that age -- definitely bodes well for the future.
