What happened to Jermaine O’Neal? There’s not a lot of info about the NBA legend since his retirement but his story after basketball is just as interesting as his hardwood career. Jermaine is from Columbia, South Carolina and he grew up in poverty to a single mom. If it wasn’t for basketball chances are his life would not have had a positive outcome. This video goes over Jermaine O’Neal’s inspiring story and answers the question, “What happened to Jermaine O’Neal?

He may not have won a ring, but this man is a Champion! 🏆

[@stefandwoodham]

Sorry......NO

[@GuyRBrewer109]

His father did not leave him. His father moved to Columbia because he was on the run for a murder. Doing so, he went by the name O'neall. His real name is Jermaine Neals. As he grew older, him and his father had a good relationship. He also has a sister who lives in St, George S.C. Jermaine's father killed my uncle by accident. His father also saved my sister from drowning in Far Rockaway bay in NYC.

[@dwinguzman2759]

👍 Jermaine seems really a nice guy. He said he never regretted it and will do it again if necessarry. From there you can see where it all started. You can never tell what you can do when things are out of control and the emotions are too high especially when you see your colleague being aggravated.

[@andreasdietzel5560]

Here is another thought: the Warriors are stuck in a system that requires high IQ players to function. Worked amazingly well through the years with players like KD, Iggy, West, Livingston, Bogut etc. but I highly doubt the pieces they have now, and will have in the coming years given Steph's, Draymond's, Wiggins' and Klay's contracts, will ever allow them to play that system again with success. It's sad to see and I hope they won't give up their team basketball but I doubt they will be successful unless they adapt their style of playing to the talents (or the lack thereof) they have.

[@rareSNaRF]

Growing up in Indiana, Jermaine was the guy. All over the state you could find merch with his name on it. He was a beast and highly underrated. If that Pacers team in 04' never got in trouble, they could've won the chip.
