Shaquille O’Neal Won’t Let His Daughters Date NBA Players

Shaquille O’Neal is keeping his daughters in check! The basketball legend spoke to Us Weekly and revealed that he probably won’t let them date NBA players.

“I want them to be fully educated or … fully independent,” he said. “I want them to have most of those goals and once they get 18 on and they become little mini adults, I’m not going to be the dad that says, ‘Do this, do that.’ [I’ll] guide them in the right path.”

“In the perfect world, I’d like them to have a bachelors and masters and [be] going into their own field.”

Previously he spoke on how he didn’t want them to date until they were 25.
