In a recent episode of Podcast led by Angel Reese, the legendary NBA Shaquille O’Neal had a stressful exchange with the female player about Caitlin Clark, the rising basketball star. The dialogue quickly attracted attention when Shaq did not hesitate to express strong views, causing Angel Reese to fall into a passive position.

Shaq is not afraid to “destroy” Angel Reese’s opinion
During the conversation, Angel Reese expressed his thoughts on how Caitlin Clark received special attention from the media and fans. She implicitly criticized that black players, including herself, are often underestimated despite the respectable achievements. This is not the first time Reese has mentioned this issue, because she had previously made statements about the bias in the basketball village.
However, Shaquille O’Neal – who used to support Reese when she still played for LSU – has strongly rejected. He said that Caitlin Clark deserves recognition thanks to his superior talent and explosive performances on the field. Shaq emphasized:“Don’t deny a person’s strength just because they get more attention. If you want to be a legend, let basketball speak.”
Angel Reese was “defeated” right on his own podcast
Shaq’s saying clearly surprised Angel Rese. She tried to argue that the problem was not only in talent but also a way to communicate to build a player image. But Shaq continued to push the debate to the climax as he asked straight:“So in your opinion, is Caitlin Clark not good?”Reese could not give a definitive answer, because even she could hardly deny the opponent’s strength.
Many fans have shared this moment with comments such as:
-
“Shaq just gave Reese a real lesson!”
-
“Unable to argue the truth. Caitlin Clark is so excellent.”
-
“Reese was” destroyed ‘by Shaq right on his own podcast! “
The shock of the debate
After the podcast, Angel Rese did not have much further response to the debate with Shaq. Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark fans are even more proud of their idols. This event once again affirmed that, in sports, talent is still a deciding factor.
Although Angel Reese’s view is not completely wrong, when faced with a legend like Shaq, she was “defeated” at home.
