The temple of basketball renowned Shaquille O’Neal continued the former NFL star, Robert Griffin III, on the remarks of the former quarter-arre on the striker of the sky of Chicago Angel Reese.
O’Neal seemed to be turned upside down by the fact that Griffin came to the defense of Reese when he went to a racist image representing her as a monkey on the cover of a video game. In the same article, Griffin wrote that he was told someone “inner circle” that Reese hates Caitlin Clark.
The strange post drew the attention of the world of sport last week. O’Neal made his comments on this subject on the Podcast “Off The Record”. His appearance struck the internet on Tuesday.

“Rg3, tweet another monkey post on my daughter Angel Reese and I’m going to hit you in your face F – ING,” said O’Neal. “It’s enough. I generally don’t do things like that, but stop my brother,” said O’Neal. “You have your work, you have your podcast. Leave my angel Reese alone. I am the one who calls him and tells him not to answer. F — ING stop that. This is the last time.
“It is not a real hatred. If you look around you what is happening in this real country, it’s hatred. It’s sport. No.”
O’Neal said he spoke to Reese and had implored him not to answer. He added that Griffin should leave WNBA players alone and stick to his own sport.
Griffin did not immediately respond to the position of O’Neal.
He wrote several paragraphs on social networks, first coming to the defense of Reese after a racist image of his NBA 2K26. He said that there was “no place for racism in the world” and that Reese “should never be called or represented as a monkey”
Griffin added that he was silent about Reese because of the hatred that he and his family received during the most recent speech in May after a controversial moment between the two stars of the WNBA.
“It will never agree with me. I have never attacked it to the family when I declared and backed up with clear basketball evidence that Angel Reese hates Caitlin Clark. It is sport. Not everyone will love each other,” he added. “The people of the inner circle of Angel called me and told me that I was right, and Angel Reese grew up to hate Caitlin Clark because of the media that always asked him about Caitlin and to be constantly compared to her.

“Some people have race, but I have never done it and I will never do it. Instead of becoming the villain in the story of anyone, I decided not to.
Reese seemed to answer Griffin’s remarks in a separate position.
“Going to this application when everyone knows the first and family name in my circle for a clout is a work of wickedness,” she wrote.
Reese’s mother also said that Griffin was lying on the conversation with the inner circle of the basketball player. “”
“What you say” called “U is not in his circle 2 talking about his feelings towards a media / fandom beef,” she wrote. “Stay on this side because the doors are closed here.”
Griffin retaliated.
“I took the floor to support Angel Reese against racism so as not to start the drama,” he wrote on X. “But I will not let anyone twist the truth simply because it is annoying to them. Instead of trying to check me, tighten your circle.
“They call me and say that you hate Caitlin Clark, not the opposite. I have no interest in being the villain in the story of anyone. I just want to have fun, tell the truth and celebrate sport. But I will not pretend or will only lie to protect feelings.”
