Basketball Hall-of-Famer Shaquille O'Neal and Former NFL star Robert Griffin III entered an internet feud, which escalated when O'Neal threatened to "punch" Griffin over comments on WNBA trailblazer Angel Reese.

Griffin III condemned the racist imagery last week in a social media post. But Griffin’s response sparked new drama when he claimed people in Reese’s inner circle had previously contacted him to validate his criticism of her rivalry with Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark.

Shaquille O’Neal isn’t known for holding back. And he definitely didn’t mince words when it came to defending Angel Reese this week. The NBA legend issued a direct and fierce warning to Robert Griffin III (RG3) after the former NFL quarterback shared a racist edit of Reese on the cover of NBA 2K26.
