Two of Shaquille O'Neal's kids will hit the court this weekend. Shaqir's Florida A&M Rattlers will visit Alabama State on Saturday, while Me'Arah and her Florida Gators will host No. 15 Tennessee on Sunday. On Thursday, the freshman Gators guard shared an Instagram story to hype her brother up.
"Lesgetit brudda," Me'Arah's IG story said.
The Instagram story included a link to a post by Shaqir and Me'Arah's mother, Shaunie Henderson. Henderson had posted ahead of the Gators' SEC matchup at Texas A&M on Thursday.

Florida defeated the Aggies 74-52, and Me'Arah contributed seven points, up from her 5.1 points per game average. Henderson's post also included a highlight clip of Shaqir. On Monday, the Rattlers defeated Alcorn State 85-76. Shaqir put up 12 points and made it a double-double with 10 rebounds. It was his first double-double of the season.
