Their old men are among the best players ever, and we'll see if their successors will be able to live up to those enormously high expectations
With ten NBA titles combined and countless epic performances, along with dozens of personal rewards, Shaquille O'Neal and Scottie Pippen have massively changed the history of the NBA.
During the '90s and early '00s, the two of them dominated the league. But their time is long gone, so now the stage is set for their successors to demonstrate what are they made of.
Of course, it's a ridiculously heavy burden for the pair of youngsters. However, it seems they're on the right path as both Shareef O'Neal, 22, and Scotty Pippen Jr, 21, are about to team up with the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA pre-season.

According to The Athletic, young Shareef has agreed to play in the Summer League with the team his dad won three NBA rings back in the days.
Los Angeles is also signing former Vanderbilt guard Scotty Pippen Jr., the son of Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen, to a two-way contract, sources said.
