Shaquille O’Neal’s daughter LOL-ed at WNBA star

After the Aces beat the Wings 64-61 in Game 3 to snatch the series, the sideline reporters were quick to approach the team’s star. A’ja Wilson, however, turned it into a hilarious moment. While talking about their performance, Wilson was caught off-guard and went, “Damn, this camera close.” She bounced back from her shock and continued with her speech while reporters around her were laughing.

This isn’t the only time Wilson’s humor has got the best of the Internet. But this time, Shaquille O’Neal’s daughter noticed it. 17-year-old Me’Arah O’Neal is watching the WNBA playoffs and everything that goes with it.

The teen has even displayed that Shaquille O’Neal sense of humor. She would get along well with A’Ja Wilson if they were teammates. Wilson is known for instances of her witty one-liners. While she made fans laugh, they also admired Wilson’s tact in that moment.

Fans were at their witty best

“I’ve always wondered if players took note,” someone said about how she let her personality shine. That’s why one commenter righteously pointed out, “This is why she should be the face of the league.” Nevertheless, ESPN themselves poked fun at their staff for getting up close and personal with the 2022 champion.

They let their camera crew and reporter deal with fans’ commentary under the post. One chimed in, “bro is like creepy close.” Some suggested it was not just the camera that made her lose her train of thought. “Camera was so close she prolly could smell it.”

Since fans pointed out that moment, they forgot that it was after a big game too. “Didn’t even know it was the conference finals,” one commenter said. The Aces are now in the WNBA Finals, ready to defend their 2022 title.
