NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal has a unique personality as he never shies away from speaking about whatever is going on in his mind. The Big Diesel has expressed his feelings on different affairs on multiple occasions and recently again showed a glimpse of his personality. Shaq slammed a fan who criticized the 2023 NCAA champion Angel Reese for making a gesture at Caitlin Clark. The 7’1″ NBA legend ended up dragging the fan’s mother in.
Reese’s gesture quickly took over the internet by storm. Many fans and media personalities across the hoops-world criticized her on social media. In fact, one journalist, Jose de Jesus Ortiz, termed her act “classless”. However, the four-time champion stood by the 20-year-old’s side.

However, during the closing moments of the game, the whizz-kid made a ‘You can’t see me’ gesture, popularized by WWE legend John Cena towards the Hawkeyes guard Caitlin Clark. In light of this, the founder of Barstool Sports, Dave Portnoy recently said about her, “Classless piece of shit.”
