Celeb Kids Following Their Parents’ Athletic Footsteps: Pics

Shaquille O’Neal’s son Sharif, Serena Williams’ daughter, Olympia, and more kids are proving to be just as athletic as their parents.

The retired professional basketball player’s son transferred to Louisiana State University from the University of California Los Angeles in 2020. He chose the university because people there “didn’t really talk about” his dad, he told 225 Magazine in January 2021.

In July 2018, Shaquille exclusively told Us Weekly that Shareef and his siblings — Taahirah, Myles, Amirah, Shaqir and Me’arah — “always” called Kobe Bryant and LeBron James their favorite NBA players of all time.

As for Williams and Alexis Ohanian’s daughter, Olympia, the little one may feel “a little dab of pressure” playing tennis, her mom told Stephen Colbert in January 2021.

“She’s a perfectionist on the court. I’m not quite sure where she got that from, but yeah, she loves it,” the Michigan native said on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. The athlete went on to call tennis “all consuming,” “stressful” and “a huge commitment.”
