Shaquille O’Neal is beyond furious with Robert Griffin III over his comments on Angel Reese.
“RG3? Tweet another monkey post about my girl Angel Reese and I’m going to punch you in your f—ing face,” O’Neal said Tuesday on Bailey Jackson’s “Off the Record” podcast. “It’s enough. I don’t usually do stuff like this, but just stop it bro.”
Griffin III, the sports media personality and former NFL quarterback, has been embroiled in controversy over his July 10 post on X, in which he strongly denounced a racist photo edit of Reese, but gave the racist image a greater platform by reposting it.
In the post, Griffin also reiterated his previous statement that Reese “hates” Caitlin Clark, and wrote that people in Reese’s inner circle called him and “told me I was right.”
Reese responded in a post on X that was clearly pointed at Griffin III, writing, “Lying on this app when everybody know the first and last name of everybody in my circle for clout is nastyyyy work.”

O’Neal, who has had a close bond with Reese dating back to the Chicago Sky forward’s days at LSU, made his feelings on the situation abundantly clear.
“You got your job, you got your podcast,” O’Neal, who also played at LSU, said in a message to Griffin III. “Leave my Angel Reese alone. I’m the one calling her telling her not to respond. F–ing stop it. That’s the last time. OK?”

O’Neal, the 7-foot-1, 325-pound Hall of Famer and four-time NBA champion, continued to lay into Griffin III, who played seven seasons in the NFL.
“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. “That should tell you you’re not that f–ing great. I don’t want to be remembered for Shaq’s ‘Big Podcast.’ I do not. Leave those girls alone.”

O’Neal added that Griffin III has no “G14 classification” to make comments about Reese.
“I would respect it more if Lisa Leslie said it, like that’s [women’s basketball players’] category,” O’Neal added. “Stay out of them peoples’ category.”
