Shaq says Angel Reese is like a 'daughter' to him

Shaquille O'Neal attended the Chicago Sky's game against the Indiana Fever on Friday night. Shaq was excited to see both Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark play in the game. Before the game, Shaq took some time to discuss his relationship with Reese, via the WNBA.

"She (Reese) is like a daughter to me," Shaq said.

Shaq has made it clear that he is a fan of Reese's game. He also recently partnered with Reese on her new podcast. The NBA legend clearly believes in Reese.

Reese is enjoying a strong rookie season. Additionally, she has established herself as a celebrity. Her popularity, to go along with her talent on the floor, has made Reese one of the WNBA's most recognizable stars. Focusing on basketball while dealing with pressure off the floor isn't an easy thing to do, but Reese has still played well.

The 22-year-old entered Friday's game against the Fever averaging 13.3 points and 12.9 rebounds per game. She has been able to continue to find success at the WNBA level following her quality college basketball career.

Fever vs. Sky game

At the moment, Reese is focused on trying to defeat Caitlin Clark and the Fever. It has been a back and forth affair with both teams playing well for the most part. Indiana leads Chicago late in the third quarter 71-62 as of this story's writing.

However, anything can happen in the fourth quarter. Angel Reese will do everything she can to lead the Sky to a victory at home.
