Angel Reese slams back at Shaquille O'Neal's suggestion to encourage more dunks in the WNBA
Shaquille O'Neal and Angel Reese talked about a lot of things during the NBA Icon's appearance on the Sky star's podcast.
During one segment, the duo discussed the scarcity of dunks in the WNBA. However, Shaq had a solution that would solve the issue and encourage the players to dunk more. However, Reese was quick to shoot down his suggestion.
"I have a solution for that, but nobody's gonna like my solution. The WNBA should lower the rims to encourage more dunks," Shaq said.
"Just so we can dunk? No! I hate when men say that," Reese said.
Shaq made comparisons between men's and women's basketball and stated that dunks were the only thing missing from women's basketball. However, Angel Reese wasn't convinced that lowering the hoop to dunk would change anything.
