Angel Reese Didn’t Hesitate When Naming The Greatest NBA Player Ever her choice will shock.

Michael Jordan and LeBron James are the first two names that come to mind for most fans when talking about the GOAT or the greatest of all time. As it turns out, this isn’t the case for Chicago Sky star Angel Reese. The rookie sensation, who is currently out for the season after undergoing wrist surgery, recently did an interview with Sports Illustrated that required her to answer a set of rapid-fire questions. The last question Reese faced was about her NBA GOAT. The 22-year-old did not hesitate in naming her greatest NBA player ever.

Of all time? Oh my God, I’mma say Shaq,” she declared.

For those who are familiar with Reese’s relationship with the great Shaquille O’Neal, her answer here would not come as a complete shock.

n a recent interview, Shaq admitted that he’s been a fan of Reese since the first day they met. This was after Reese told him to his face that she was going to outshoot him.

O’Neal has also been adamant about Reese being the top rookie in the WNBA. While Shaq did give Caitlin Clark her flowers, the Hall of Fame big man admitted that he would always be biased toward Reese because “Angel is my girl.” Reese’s new podcast, “Unapologetically Angel,” is part of Shaq’s “The Big Podcast Network.”

Taking all this into consideration, it makes a lot of sense why Angel Reese has Shaq as her GOAT.
