WNBA Angel Reese loses huge $100,000 wager with Shaquille O’Neal after underestimating his basketball skills at the age of 52
Angel Reese put $100,000 on the line during a recent meet-up with NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal, daring him to make a free throw at age 52, which the longtime Laker swished without hesitation.
O’Neal and Reese’s collaboration appeared on the Chicago Sky star’s Instagram story, with the duo in a smaller basketball gym.
The court and surroundings were akin to the venue at Hickory High School in the film ‘Hoosiers’ where the pair of LSU alumni were spotted.
Reese challenged O’Neal to make a shot with $100,000 on the line. Appearing to be only from the free-throw line, it did not take long for O’Neal to get a shot up and through the net.
Reese yelled in celebration after the 52-year-old NBA on TNT analyst made the shot.

‘I guess I owe him 100K @Shaq,’ Reese stated in the caption with a crying emoji.
O’Neal had an career free-throw percentage of 52.7 percent, giving the attempt true coin-flip odds, and maybe better for Reese taking into account O’Neal’s age.
Reese’s WNBA rookie contract only paid her $73,439, with the WNBA All-Star likely making much more than that through endorsement and brand deals.
Reese has been at the forefront of the rise in popularity in women’s basketball alongside Caitlin Clark, as the duo of on-court rivals have drawn viewership records in the college and professional ranks.
O’Neal is entering what is likely the final season of TNT’s NBA coverage, with NBC and Amazon Prime striking deals with the league.
Reese’s net worth is valued at between $1.4million and $1.8million and will likely only grow as her career continues. O’Neal, meanwhile, has an estimated wealth of $500million.
