Shaq Threatens RG3 Over Racist Angel Reese Post Amid WNBA Drama

In a fiery clash that has set the sports world abuzz, Basketball Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal has issued a stern warning to former NFL star Robert Griffin III over controversial social media remarks about Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese. O’Neal, visibly upset, didn’t hold back during his appearance on the Off the Record podcast, where he threatened physical retaliation if Griffin continued to post derogatory content about Reese.

The controversy erupted after Griffin reshared a racist image depicting Reese as a monkey on a video game cover, while also claiming that someone from Reese’s inner circle told him she harbors animosity toward fellow WNBA star Caitlin Clark. This bizarre post drew sharp criticism, and O’Neal stepped in as a fierce defender of Reese, urging Griffin to stop targeting her and focus on his own career. ‘Leave my Angel Reese alone,’ O’Neal declared passionately, emphasizing that he’s been advising Reese to avoid engaging in the drama.

Griffin, for his part, attempted to clarify his stance on social media, condemning the racist portrayal of Reese and insisting there’s no place for such hatred. Yet, he doubled down on his claim about Reese’s feelings toward Clark, citing alleged conversations with her close associates. Reese, however, dismissed Griffin’s assertions as fabrications, with her mother also stepping in to refute any connection to the supposed ‘inner circle’ sources.

This heated exchange underscores a deeper tension in the sports arena, where rivalries are often amplified by media narratives and personal grudges. While Griffin maintains he’s merely speaking truth, the backlash from O’Neal and Reese’s camp paints a picture of a narrative spiraling beyond sportsmanship. As both Reese and Clark gear up for the WNBA All-Star Game, the spotlight remains on how these young stars navigate the intense scrutiny—and whether veterans like O’Neal will continue to play protector.
