Fans react after video of Angel Reese and others picking Caitlin Clark over Shaquille O’Neal resurfaces

WNBA fans have expressed their opinions on a resurfaced video of Angel Reese and other players picking Caitlin Clark over Shaquille O’Neal during the WNBA draft. On Sunday, a fan posted the video on X, where an interviewer went around the WNBA draft red carpet and asked the players who they thought would win a blindfolded 3-point contest between O’Neal and Clark.

All the women featured in the video took Clark’s side, including her rival from the Windy City, Angel Reese.

“I’m going Caitlin Clark,” Reese said. “I gotta get realistic here, It doesn’t matter she blindfolded, she gonna make it.”

Shaquille O’Neal showers praise on Caitlin Clark while comparing her to an NBA superstar

NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal has been an Angel Reese supporter for quite some time now, and although he has made some controversial remarks about Caitlin Clark in the past, he has now turned into a believer in the Indiana Fever rookie’s abilities.

While talking to USA Today, Shaq gave his flowers to the former Iowa Hawkeyes phenom for her incredible balling skills and compared her to Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry.

“When I see stuff on TV, I’m like, OK, I’d like to see it in person. Well, I saw it in person,” the LA Lakers legend said. “She can play… from a basketball standpoint, she makes all the right plays, gets everybody involved, and she has that Steph Curry range.”

Caitlin Clark had an incredible season in her debut year in the WNBA. The Fever star won the Rookie of the Year award and helped her team make it to the playoffs for the first time since 2016.
