In a recent episode of Podcast led by Angel Reese, the legendary NBA Shaquille OâNeal 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 âdestroyâ Angel Reeseâs 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 OâNeal â who used to support Reese when she still played for LSU â has strongly rejected. He said that Caitlin Clark deserves recognition thanks to his superior talent and explosive performances on the field. Shaq emphasized:âDonât deny a personâs strength just because they get more attention. If you want to be a legend, let basketball speak.â
Angel Reese was âdefeatedâ right on his own podcast
Shaqâs 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:âSo in your opinion, is Caitlin Clark not good?âReese could not give a definitive answer, because even she could hardly deny the opponentâs strength.
Many fans have shared this moment with comments such as:
-
âShaq just gave Reese a real lesson!â
-
âUnable to argue the truth. Caitlin Clark is so excellent.â
-
âReese wasâ destroyed âby Shaq right on his own podcast! â
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 Reeseâs view is not completely wrong, when faced with a legend like Shaq, she was âdefeatedâ at home.
