Let’s not get it twisted, I’m Angel all day… Now, I’m not Shaq, I’m a fan. Caitlin plays the right way, I saw it. She makes the right play. She makes her teammates better… I don’t want [Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark] together, I want them to battle against each other.

On the Big Podcast, Shaquille O’Neal said

O’Neal, meanwhile, has played with and won NBA titles with some of the greatest guards in NBA history. Those were Penny Hardaway, Kobe Bryant, and Dwyane Wade. Hence, his statement that he wanted the rookies from the Sky and Fever to face off looked a little strange coming from him. It will be intriguing to watch how these two stars develop their rivalry in the coming years of the WNBA.
