Former NBA legend and current network analyst Shaquille O'Neal's bald head is as prominent as his dominance in the paint. That is, until Shaq lost a bet to Dwyane Wade.
O'Neal picked the Milwaukee Bucks to defeat the Miami Heat on March 2, only for the Heat to blow the Bucks out of the water.
Shaq paid in the form of revealing his receding hairline during Tuesday's pregame show on TNT. The moment became the subject of memes and jokes all over the Internet.
In fact, O'Neal could not even avoid the wrath of his oldest son, Shareef, who alluded to his father's hairline being pushed so far back it was in Stephen Curry range:

It would seem Shaq's humor is hereditary.
Shareef had made a name for himself as a prep star at Crossroads School in Santa Monica, CA. He committed to play at UCLA, but O'Neal had to undergo heart surgery in September of 2018, missing his freshman season as a result.
Unfortunately, O'Neal's return to the Bruins did not go as planned. He ultimately decided to transfer out of the program after averaging just over 10 minutes per game.
Shareef–much like his father–was very broken up by the death of Kobe Bryant. He posted a screenshot of an Instagram message he received from Bryant the morning of the fatal helicopter crash that killed Kobe, his daughter Gianna and seven others:

Still, the O'Neal's sure know how to make things more light-hearted.
Shaq's decision to reveal his hairline was humorous enough, but Shareef's troll job is equally as brilliant.
