Shareef O’Neal is sharing an emotional find.

The 20-year-old son of NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal shared a photo of a cloud on social media earlier in the week – which he believed appeared to take the form of the number eight, just like one of the late Kobe Bryant‘s jersey numbers.

“I can’t believe I saw this today. It sent chills through my body .. it might be a stretch to some but I see it clear as day .. even the same font. Wow, so amazing #8 🕊🐍 WE MISS YOU,” Shareef captioned the emotional post.

That number was Kobe’s first jersey number as a Los Angeles Laker, later wearing 24. He’s the only player in league history to have two jersey numbers retired within the same team.

Some fans in the comments also not only agreed with him, but felt that they saw the number two in the bottom right of the image, representing his late daughter, Gianna Bryant.

Shaq recently opened up about his first meeting with Kobe.

UCLA basketball player Shareef O’Neal, the son of Shaquille O’Neal, revealed that Kobe Bryant messaged him on Sunday morning (January 26) just hours before his death.

If you don’t know, Kobe and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna died on Sunday (January 26) after his helicopter crashed.

“Literally this morning you reached out to me ….😔 I love you forever unc ❤️ I love you,” Shareef posted on Twitter, sharing the screen grab of the DM he and Kobe exchanged the morning of his death.
