For one interview on Inside the NBA this week, Shaquille O’Neal was just another proud dad.

His son, Shareef O’Neal, joined the show via cell phone to talk about his recent commitment to the University of Arizona — which he chose, among others, over Auburn. When Charles Barkley, a former Auburn player, asked how far down the list the school was Shareef didn’t hold back.

“They’re pretty far down,” he said unapologetically.

Shareef was also asked about playing in front of his dad.
