Shaquille O'Neal Sends Warning To Former NFL Quarterback
Shaquille O'Neal Sends Warning To Former NFL Quarterback originally appeared on The Spun. There's been some beef brewing between Angel Reese and Robert Griffin III and Shaquille O'Neal is tired of the foolishness. On Tuesday's episode of the "Off the Record" podcast, the NBA legend sent a pointed warning the ex-NFL QB's way. Telling RGIII that if he doesn't stop with the claims he's been making about the Chicago Sky forward he's going to punch him "in the [expletive] face." Last week, Griffin reshared an extremely racist photo of Reese's NBA 2K26 cover. And while RGIII ultimately denounced the post, he also took the time to double down on Angel's "hatred" for Caitlin Clark. "People in Angel's inner circle called me and told me I was right and Angel Reese has grown to hate Caitlin Clark because of the media always asking her about Caitlin and being constantly compared to her," Griffin wrote on X. "Some people made it about race, but I never did and never will. Instead of becoming the villain in anyone's story, I decided to just not." That drew a response from Reese herself who shot back: "Lying on this app when everybody know the first and last name of everybody in my circle for clout is nastyyyy work." Now Shaq has officially weighed in — addressing the former Heisman Trophy winner directly in a conversation with Bailey Jackson. "RGIII, tweet another monkey post about my girl Angel Reese and I'm gonna punch you in four f—ing face. It's enough. I don't normally do stuff like this, but just stop it bro," O'Neal said. "You got your job, you got your podcast, leave my Angel Reese alone. I'm the one calling her and telling her not to respond. F—ing stop it. That's the last time. OK? Thank you." The Hall of Famer has mentored Reese since her days at his alma mater LSU and has had her back at every turn — even signing her to a lucrative shoe deal with Reebok after becoming the company's president of basketball. The ball is in Griffin's court now.

The OutKick host went off on the NBA legend with insults, labeling him a "fat a**" and "big stupid" while supporting Robert Griffin III. It all kicked off with a racist meme, but now it's turned into a nasty feud packed with personal digs, old receipts, and social media drama you can't overlook. Dan Dakich takes aim at Shaq's past while defending RG3 Dan Dakich, once a college basketball coach and now a candid sportscaster for Outkick, a platform celebrated for its fearless takes. He posted an intense rant on Outkick's Instagram, aligning with Griffin and tearing into O'Neal with a slew of insults, particularly calling him a "fat a**." He later added, 'I mean, go back and look at shaq's history. Restraining orders, all kind of other stupid. So yes, it's shack, it's the big stupid I really wish. Rg 3 would say. Bring it big boy, bring your fat ass around here. Punch me, let's see how that works out for you.'. This is not all, he continued and said, 'Sha's full shack's an insecure little baby.

Shaq isn't gonna do ANYTHING to RGIII Straight from Dakich's mouth, 'The big stupid decided he is going to go after Robert Griffin after RG III posted a photo that depicted Angel Reese as a Monkey,' he started, as quoted in the query from Outkick's Instagram. Robert Griffin III's post triggers outrage The drama started when Robert Griffin III, who used to be an NFL quarterback and is now a media figure, tweeted about Angel Reese, a rising talent in women's basketball for the Chicago Sky. On X, Griffin posted a photo of Reese depicted as a monkey and claimed that people close to her mentioned she "hates" Caitlin Clark, a fellow standout with the Indiana Fever. The monkey imagery wasn't just a random shot; it's a racist stereotype with a nasty history when aimed at Black athletes, which made Griffin's post immediately controversial. His assertion about Reese and Clark only intensified the situation, playing into a rivalry narrative between the two players that fans and media have been blowing out of proportion. Shaquille O'Neal threatens Robert Griffin III with a punch over Angel Reese controversy Shaquille O'Neal has been mentoring Reese since her college days at LSU, where he also played. While on the Off The Record podcast, O'Neal made a bold threat towards Griffin. 'RG3, tweet one more monkey post about my girl Angel Reese, and I'm punching you in the f**king face,' he said at the 23:49 mark of the episode. 'Enough's enough. I don't usually speak up like this, but seriously, stop it. You've got your job, your podcast, just leave my Angel Reese alone.'

Angel Reese Accuses Former NFL Quarterback of Lying
There continues to be no love lost between WNBA star Angel Reese and former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III. If you're unfamiliar, the tension between Reese and Griffin likely started after the onetime Heisman Trophy winner said the Chicago Sky forward "hates" Caitlin Clark following an on-court confrontation between the two rivals back in May. Griffin added fuel to the fire Thursday when he bizarrely brought up the Clark/Reese situation again while ostensibly trying to defend Reese from a racist photo edit h saw online. In his comments, Griffin alleged that multiple people close to Reese have confirmed her feelings about Clark to him. "I never attacked her or her family when I stated and backed up with clear basketball evidence that Angel Reese hates Caitlin Clark. It's sports. Everybody won't like each other," Griffin said. "People in Angel's inner circle called me and told me I was right and Angel Reese has grown to hate Caitlin Clark because of the media always asking her about Caitlin and being constantly compared to her." Reese saw Griffin's tweet, and she issued a pretty blunt response calling the former ESPN analyst a liar. "lying on this app when everybody know the first and last name of everybody in my circle for clout is nastyyyy work," Reese tweeted. It didn't stop there either, as Reese's mother also got involved. She replied to Griffin's tweet and also accused him of making things up. "Man stop with the My daughter's 'circle' is so small & tight so I'd be interested 2 know who called U Whomever U say 'called' U is not in her circle 2 speak on her feelings towards a media/fandom made up beef," Reese's mom said. "Just stay on that side bc the doors are closed over here." It's important to note that we don't have any proof over who isn't being truthful here, but moving forward, Griffin would probably be best served not mentioning Reese's name on social media. All he's earned by doing so is unnecessary drama. Angel Reese Accuses Former NFL Quarterback of Lying first appeared on Men's Journal on Jul 10, 2025

Shaq Threatens Former NFL Quarterback, 'Just Stop It'
Shaquille O'Neal has been a vocal supporter of Angel Reese going back to her days at LSU. So, in the ongoing beef between Reese and former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III, it was obviously what side Shaq was going to be on. During an appearance on the "Off The Record" podcast, Shaq sent a not-so-thinly veiled message to Griffin: back off Reese, or face consequences. "RGIII, tweet another monkey post about my girl Angel Reese and I'm gonna punch you in your f-----g face," O'Neal said. "It's enough. Like, I don't usually do stuff like this but just stop it bro. "You got your job, you got your podcast. Leave my Angel Reese alone. I'm the one calling her and telling her not to respond. F-----g stop it. That's the last time, okay?" O'Neal is referring to RGIII's tweet last week in which he called out and shared a racist photo edit of Reese that he saw online. Many took exception to Griffin amplifying the post, even if he said it was wrong, especially because, in the same tweet, he repeated his assertion that Reese "hates" fellow WNBA star Caitlin Clark. Taking things a step further, Griffin claims members of Reese's inner circle have confirmed as much to him. "People in Angel's inner circle called me and told me I was right and Angel Reese has grown to hate Caitlin Clark because of the media always asking her about Caitlin and being constantly compared to her," Griffin said. Both Reese and her mother responded by publicly calling Griffin a liar. "lying on this app when everybody know the first and last name of everybody in my circle for clout is nastyyyy work," Reese tweeted. O'Neal also addressed the Reese/Clark hate claim made by Griffin during his podcast appearance that's now going viral. "It's not real hate. You look around what's going around in this real country, that's hate. This is sports. I'm not supposed to like you," O'Neal said. "It's a shame that all the stuff you did in your life, you're going to be remembered for your podcast," O'Neal added, taking another shot at Griffin. "You're going to be remembered for your podcast. That should tell you you're not that f-----g great." O'Neal also referred to himself as Reese's "protector." The two have had a close relationship for years, as both are LSU alums, and O'Neal helped recruit Reese to Reebok before she turned pro. "[She's] really a nice, beautiful young lady. But when you're in this thing of ours, you have a play a certain way and you have to be a certain way," O'Neal said last month about his advice to Reese on how to handle criticism. "A lot of times, they, if they don't understand who you are, they misconceive. But I tell her all the time, 'Don't worry about that.'"

Shaq threatens to punch Robert Griffin III over Angel Reese posts
Shaquille O'Neal is tired of seeing Robert Griffin III post about Angel Reese. O'Neal called out Griffin, a former NFL quarterback turned media personality, saying on Bailey Jackson's 'Off the Record' podcast that if Griffin continues 'messing with her,' he would punch Griffin in the face. Advertisement O'Neal's comments come after Griffin shared a racist edit of Reese's 'NBA 2K26' cover in an attempt to highlight and stop the racist treatment toward Reese. However, Griffin drew backlash for amplifying the image with his message on X on July 10, to his 2.2 million followers. 'RGIII, tweet another monkey post about my girl Angel Reese, and I'm gonna punch you in your f—— face. OK? It's enough. Like, I don't usually do stuff like this, but just stop it, bro,' O'Neal said Tuesday. 'You got your job, you got your podcast, leave my Angel Reese alone. I'm the one calling her and telling her not to respond.' 'Leave those girls alone. You already spoke on. Let it go,' O'Neal said. 'He hates her, so f—— what? I hate you now for messing with her. Now what, say something about me.' Advertisement O'Neal has mentored Reese, a member of the WNBA's Chicago Sky, since her collegiate career at LSU, his alma mater. He said he told Reese, 'Don't indulge with these fools. Cause (Griffin's) a fool.' Along with sharing the racist edit, Griffin also recently tweeted that Reese 'hates' Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark and that members of Reese's inner circle had confirmed this to him. While Reese didn't name Griffin, she appeared to address his post in a tweet on July 10. 'Lying on this app when everybody know the first and last name of everybody in my circle for clout is nastyyyy work,' Reese wrote. Advertisement Reese and Clark have been rivals since they emerged as women's college basketball stars at LSU and Iowa, respectively. They've been consistently compared to one another, with their rivalry following them to the WNBA. However, Clark, a White woman, has not been subjected to the racism and discrimination that Reese, a Black woman, has. In May, Clark said bigotry and hatred had 'no place' in the WNBA after the league opened an investigation into alleged hateful comments directed toward Reese by one or multiple fans during a Fever-Sky game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The WNBA later said it could not substantiate reports of racist fan behavior at the game. A year ago, numerous WNBA players said they dealt with a rise in harassment, including increased racist, misogynistic, homophobic and threatening attacks, with players saying such comments took a toll on their mental health. 'I believe that every player in this league deserves to be treated with respect and wants to come to work and just have fun and have a great environment to work at,' Reese said at the time of the investigation.
