Shaq is facing backlash over his appearance on Angel Reese’s podcast.
During his podcast appearance, Shaq said he believed the WNBA should lower the rims because fans would enjoy watching a “pretty girl dunking.”
Shaq: I have a solution, but no one is going to like it. In women’s volleyball, the net is lowered just a little bit; I’m not saying to lower it to 9 feet or nothing, just 9^9 or something.
Angel Reese: Just so we can dunk? No. I hate when men say that.
Shaq: “The only thing that’s missing is the dunk… I like how you all are starting to get into fashion, a pretty girl dunking. I’m watching that all day.”
Shaq tells Angel Reese that, unless certain players are playing, watching a WNBA game is like watching a high school game, and says the WNBA needs to lower the hoop so women can dunk, and then they will get paid like NBA players.

While continuing his argument about lowering the rim, Shaq got creepy with his commentary.
“Imagine you in the same little shorts you had on at the Wild N Out show dunking, you know how many T-Shirts you’re going to sell, you’re tripping.”
Shaq receives backlash for telling Angel Reese to imagine how many shirts she would sell if she dunked in those tiny shirts she wore. 😳 pic.twitter.com/gZm5uqZvZA
