Jermaine O'Neal, former NBA player: "My father has 33 children"
Former Indiana Pacers player, among others, has shared part of his incredible family story
In a recent interview, former NBA player Jermaine O’Neal (Indiana Pacers, Warriors, etc) shared a personal story that reveals little-known aspects of his family life and the crucial role his older brother played in his development. When discussing the family structure that supported him during his childhood, O’Neal surprised with a sincere confession:
“Who was the backbone in your family? Talk about your older brother, because I know he also played a role,” they asked him. To which O’Neal replied:
“Yes, brother. You know what’s crazy? My brother... my father was present when my brother was born. He is two years older than me. So, he was there for the first two years of his life. But when my mother got pregnant with me, he disappeared.
A crazy story: my last name is made up. It’s true: O’Neal isn’t even our real last name. He made it up. And here comes the craziest part: I am one of 33 siblings. True story.”
