Shaquille O’Neal made things awkward for Angel Reese while on her podcast this week.

The NBA legend is very close to Reese and is one of her mentors, but he made her a bit uncomfortable after suggesting she should dunk in booty shorts during an appearance on ‘Unaplogogetically Angel.’

“Imagine you in those same little booty shorts you had on at the Wild N’ Out show dunking,” he said. “You know how many T-shirts you gonna sell? You tripping.”

Reese laughed nervously as Shaq continued, “them same little booty shorts you had on at Wild N’ Out…”

The Sky forward stopped him with a series of okays and alrights.

Check it out in the video below:

“Shaq had a plan all this while🤣🤣🤣,” a fan laughed.

“She does it to herself then plays victim each time💀,” said another.

“You can’t stop a 7ft freak unless you’re nick nurse,” a third pointed out.

“If she’s gonna be so offended by the shit that she wears why is she wearing it?” said a fourth.

“Shaq wanna tap that ahh 😭,” another user claimed.

“Now I love Angel Reese but I haven’t seen a picture of her yet without her a** hanging out. Y’all don’t want men fantasizing and sexualizing you but you won’t put no f**king clothes on. Smmfh,” someone wrote.

Shaq Says To Love Angel Reese “As A Daughter”

While Shaq came off sounding a bit thirsty there, the former NBA superstar insisted during another segment of that same interview that he would never cross such a line with Reese, although he’s told her “I love you” many times.

“I love her as a daughter, I love her as a beautiful black woman who’s making it. But, obviously, you don’t know me. If you think I’m messing with Angel Reese, you don’t know me,” he claimed.

Something tells us she might take him up on that booty shorts idea, though.
