Shaquille O'Neal's Son Jokes He Named Boat 'Free Throw' So He Won't Sink It

Shareef O'Neal had some fun at his father's expense.

Shaquille O'Neal's son, Shareef, recently had some fun at his father's expense.

In a TikTok video, Shareef joked that his father bought a boat and named it "Free Throw" because he will never sink it. 

O'Neal was a notoriously bad free-throw shooter over his 19-season NBA career, averaging 52.7 percent from the charity stripe.

Teams would often use the "Hack-A-Shaq" defensive strategy against him, in which defenders purposely fouled O'Neal to make him shoot free throws. 

While the NBA is suspended because of the COVID-19 pandemic, O'Neal and his sons have made a few videos together, including one in which they all dance in the kitchen.

Wrote O'Neal: "Don’t be down. Be safe love yall."

O'Neal is clearly doing whatever he can to keep people entertained and in good spirits, even if the fun is at his expense.
