Shaquille O’Neal is mourning the death of his sister, Ayesha Harrison-Jex, who passed away on Thursday after battling cancer. The NBA legend did not know his biological father and was raised by his stepfather, Sgt. Phillip A. Harrison, who was Ayesha's father. O’Neal’s TNT colleagues, Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith, sent their condolences in a heartfelt message during Thursday night’s broadcast. “When he struggles, we struggle with him, because he’s one of our brothers,” Johnson said in the tribute. “He said his world revolves around his brother and two sisters, and he lost one of his sisters this morning, far too early.” O’Neal responded with a tweet: “Thanks for the condolences and the love. If I had older brothers, it would be you 3. Love y’all and love you more Candice.”
