Shaquille O’Neal Publicly Ends Angel Reese — Major Endorsement Contracts Canceled Immediately
The basketball community is in an uproar after the legendary Shaquille O’Neal made a shocking statement, publicly rejecting Angel Reese and asserting that Caitlin Clark is the only name he trusts.
Angel Reese is brutally rejected
Angel Reese was once considered the “inherited star” of the WNBA. With her prominence both on and off the court, Reese was sought after by many major brands, seemingly becoming the new commercial face of women’s basketball.
But Shaquille O’Neal ruined it all with just one short sentence:
“She’s not Caitlin Clark.”
Endorsement contracts canceled simultaneously
Immediately after this statement, a series of Reese’s major contracts were canceled or frozen. Brands are turning their attention to Caitlin Clark – who is considered the new “commercial treasure” of women’s basketball.
Controversial explanation
In response to the criticism, Shaquille O’Neal gave a short but shocking explanation:
“It’s all about money, not drama.”
According to him, brands only want to invest in a name that will bring immediate profits – and Caitlin Clark is that choice. To prove it, O’Neal revealed that he had made a $5 million offer, but to Caitlin Clark, not Reese.
Shock to fans
Angry Angel Reese fans said she was being treated unfairly.
Caitlin Clark’s supporters saw this as a sign that she is the “new icon” of the WNBA.
The media considered this one of the boldest “turns” in the sports world this year.
How will Angel Reese react?
Angel Reese has not spoken yet, but the pressure from public opinion is growing. The question is: can she overcome this shock to prove her true worth, or will she forever be overshadowed by Caitlin Clark?
