NBA great Shaquille O’Neal doubled down on his controversial “solution” to increase the WNBA’s commitment and player salaries.

In an appearance on Chicago Sky star Angel Reesehis “Unapologetic Angel” Thursday O’Neal podcast revised his argument to lower the rim so more WNBA players can dunk.

“Just so we can dive? Not,” Reese said. “I hate it when men say that.”

O’Neal, a father figure to Reese from her LSU days, said the only difference between the NBA and WNBA is the dunk.

“Bro, a pretty girl diving on the edge? I look at it all day,” O’Neal said.

“A man is not thrilled with any woman who dives,” Reese said with a laugh.

“It’s not about being turned on,” O’Neal replied. “It’s about seeing things you shouldn’t see.”

“What do you mean you shouldn’t see? However, there are women who can dive,” Reese said.

O’Neil then used Caitlin Clark’s signature 3-point logos as an example of what was new to the game.

“I’ve never seen this before. That’s my view,” he said. “She’s doing things I’ve never seen before. I never saw anyone consistently. There are a lot of girls in the WNBA who have done it all, but that game that I’m watching everybody in the Final Four, I’m like, ‘Damn.’

“And I was a hater, because you know I’m down with you, like, ‘He’s not going to hit that shot.’ And then, bam, she hits the shot…”

Reese, however, disputed the idea that lowering the rim would have a significant impact on spectator employment and player salaries.

“I feel like it still wouldn’t be good enough. It will never be good enough,” she said. “People don’t always respect women, regardless. They will always not give us the same value as a man.”
