The sons of NBA legends Scottie Pippen and Shaquille O'Neal are headed to the NBA after being signed by the Lakers after going undrafted in the NBA's annual two-round selection event on Thursday (June 23) night.
Shaq's son, Shareef O'Neal, signed a deal to play for the Lakers on their NBA Summer League squad, while Scottie's son, Scottie Jr., signed a two-way deal, where he'll get a shot at playing during the regular season.
Shareef revealed that he butted heads with his famous father by making the choice to leave college to enter the NBA. He explained, "We kind of bump heads about this process. He wanted me to stay in school. I wanted to better myself through this. He knows I'm working out with teams. But I'm not going to lie, we ain't talked about this. I'm kind of just going through it. He didn't do any pre-draft workouts; he just got straight on the [Orlando Magic], so it's a different grind.
"So, he didn't want me to do this, and I know he probably doesn't want me saying this, but sorry. We're both grown, we'll get past it."
