Angel Reese is the LSU Tigers’ stretch four who has gained imminent fame despite being a college basketball player. Let us have a look at what did Shaq do to overwhelm her.

What did Shaq O’Neal do?

The LSU Lady Tigers’ star Angel Reese was overwhelmed after signing an NIL deal with Reebok. This move came after Reebok appointed Shaq O’Neal as their basketball president. Reese took to the social media networking site X on Tuesday and expressed her gratitude to the LSU Lady Tigers’ assistant coach Bob Starkey for introducing her to the NBA legend.

“Barbie 🤝🏽Shaq. This was actually the first day I ever met him & it’s been history since then! Can’t thank @CoachBobStarkey enough for making this happen as well!!! 🔥💖”

But before that, Shaq made a statement that floored Reese. According to Nice Kicks’ X page, he called Reese “the GOAT”. Shaq said, “There is no one making a bigger impact on the game right now than Angel Reese.” 

For the unversed, as per Fibre 2 Fashion, NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal was appointed as the President of Reebok Basketball on Monday, following their announcement regarding revival plans.

These plans aim to help Reebok come back into the team sport and help them partner with basketball at a global level. Earlier, Shaq had collaborated with the brand during the 90s. Then, he helped the brand reach across a wide variety of audiences.

In the footwear category, the brand has an extensive reach across specialty, mid-tier, off-price, and mass channels. This is a further testament to Shaq’s global appeal.

As per Sports Illustrated, Reebok announced singing an NIL deal with Louisiana State University Lady Tigers’ star Angel Reese. This deal happens to be the first after the appointment of the NBA legend Shaq O’Neal.

With this contract, Reese will join the likes of NFL quarterback Justin Fields, and basketball icon Allen Iverson. From October 17, fans will be able to buy a limited edition celebratory t-shirt and also get access to a collection curated by their favorite star – Angel Reese.
