NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal expresses support for WNBA star Angel Reese regularly, ever since her days at his alma mater of LSU.
The two basketball stars formed a strong relationship in recent years, but fans are beginning to claim O’Neal is taking it a step too far. The Hall of Famer recently appeared on her podcast Unapologetically Angel, where an unforeseen topic was brought up.
“Bro, imagine you in those little ass shorts you had on at the Wild’n Out show, dunking. You know how many t-shirts you gonna sell, you trippin. What? What? Those same little ass shorts,” O’Neal said.
“Alright, alright, alright,” Reese interrupted, sounding bothered.
This sparked an uproar in the basketball community, with numerous coming forward to call out O’Neal.
“angel reese learned a painful lesson about men through shaq in real time, i fear,” a post with more than 500,000 views read.
“That clip of Shaq talking to Angel Reese is nasty bro,” one person shared.
One fan didn’t hold back at all, writing, “Shaq is 52 years old and has gotten a free pass for being creepy because he’s an nba legend . AngelReese looks at Shaq like a father figure mentor type and he’s taking about her in booty shorts lmao.”
O’Neal or Reese are yet to address the situation.
