Shareef O'Neal has already offered to help Bronny James in his recovery from his cardiac arrest ... revealing this week he's actually spoken with LeBron's son -- making it clear he'll be there for the 18-year-old if and when he needs assistance in his road to recovery.
"What is my future looking like," he remembered wondering during his first days out of surgery."That's when I kind of realized, I don't know if basketball is ever going to be an option again."
O'Neal, though, eventually returned to the court at full strength ... and he says his dad's words -- which he's now passing on to Bronny -- helped tremendously in getting back. "He's like, 'If you make it out of this, you'll be the baddest man on the planet,'" Shareef said of Shaq's advice."And that kind of just builds a fire up in you and makes you want to go back and get it."
