Harrison who was the biological father of his sister Ayesha Harrison-Jex. Shaquille O’Neal did not make an appearance on Thursday’s program of TNBT’s “Inside the NBA” and Shaquille O’Neal’s colleagues of the show decided to pass along their own condolences.
Ernie Johnson, the host of the show said of Shaquille O’Neal, “When O’Neal struggles, we also struggle with him because he is our brother. She has said that his world revolved around his 2 sisters and his brother. And now he has lost one of those sisters this morning, at an age far too early.”
Charles Barkley passed his condolences in kind words to mother of Shaquille O’Neal named Lucille O’Neal; saying that she was the one who was there for his family when his own mother died.
