Shaq shocks: Angel Reese by saying she should wear revealing clothes in…

As a fan of women’s basketball, Shaquille O’Neal has his own ideas about how to generate more interest in the WNBA. He shared one of those ideas with Chicago Sky rookie star Angel Reese, and he got a hostile response.

During an interview on Reese’s podcast “Unapologetically Angel” this week, O’Neal brought up an outfit Reese wore off the court and referenced it as a potential business strategy for Reese and others to sell more merchandise.

The outfit O’Neal referenced was a gray long-sleeve top with short, gray shorts Reese wore during an appearance on “Nick Cannon Presents: Wild ‘n Out,” a sketch comedy and battle rap improv game show.

“Imagine you had on the same little shorts you had on at ‘Wild ‘n Out’ show dunking. How many T-shirts you gon’ sell?” O’Neal suggested to Reese during the podcast.

The suggestion prompted an impassioned response from Reese, who raised her voice and exclaimed that she’s “not imagining anything!”

But O’Neal was insistent.

“The same little shorts you had on at ‘Wild ‘n Out.’ I’m just saying,” he repeated.

Reese didn’t wait long to shut the conversation down and change the topic, yelling “OK, all right, all right, all right” to interrupt and stop him from continuing.

O’Neal’s comments came after he had suggested another way to improve WNBA viewership would be to lower the basket, so more players could dunk.

“Bro, first of all, I like how you’ all are starting to get into fashion,” Shaq said. “Bro, a pretty girl dunking on the rim? I’m watching that all day.”

Reese pushed back, saying she did not believe women dunking was going to make much of a difference and hates “when men say that.”

“I feel like it still wouldn’t be good enough. It’s never good enough,” Reese said. “People always disrespect women regardless. They are always going to not give us the same value as a man. So I don’t think that.”

Reese’s appearance on “Wild ‘n Out” drew mixed reviews from fans.

Hip-hop artist and media mogul Joe Budden spoke out against Reese for making the appearance and drawing off-court controversy to herself during an episode “The Joe Budden Podcast.”

“I’ve seen Angel Reese wildin’ out. I don’t know if I’ve seen her on ‘Wild ’n Out,'” Budden said.
