Shaquille O'Neal Takes a Stand Against Robert Griffin III Over Angel Reese Remarks
Shaquille O'Neal adamantly tells Robert Griffin III to cease comments regarding Angel Reese, even threatening to retaliate physically if he continues.
Shaquille O’Neal is fed up with Robert Griffin III’s comments about Angel Reese. The NBA Hall of Famer directly called out Griffin, urging him to stop his remarks regarding the WNBA star, even making a bold statement about resorting to violence if he continues to post about her.
Reese has garnered attention as a divisive figure in the sports world, particularly with her ongoing rivalry with fellow athlete Caitlin Clark. Griffin has frequently tweeted about their relationship, seemingly fueling public interest. However, O’Neal’s ire was particularly ignited when Griffin shared a race-laden edit of Reese’s NBA 2K26 cover, provoking O’Neal, who has mentored Reese since her college days at LSU.
“RGIII, tweet another monkey post about my girl Angel Reese and I’m gonna punch you in your f—ing face. K. It’s enough. Like, I don’t usually do stuff like this but stop it, bro,” Shaq exclaimed. (Translation: Shaq urges Griffin to cease his derogatory posts about Reese, voicing strong disapproval.)
O’Neal emphasized that while sports might foster rivalries, there’s no place for racist commentary. He reassured Reese that he advises her to maintain her dignity in the face of provocation. Meanwhile, Griffin’s ongoing commentary continues to draw scrutiny as fans debate the nature of the rivalry between Reese and Clark.
