Shaquille O'Neal recently discussed the skirmish in the SEC Championship game between LSU and South Carolina players and said that Angel Reese did the right thing by staying out of it. Per The Spun:
quote:

I called her and said, 'You did the right thing. Trust me, if you would have went out there, they would have been looking for you. You and [Kamilla] Cardoso get into a shoving match. She's already ejected. Can't play in the next round.

That would have happened to you. It would have been all your fault.' So she did the right thing. Kudos to her.

I see she's taking a lot of flak. 'Oh, she should have been there.' This is not fighting. The only thing you have to fight for is to fight for your team. The game was played closely. Things like that—you don't want them to happen. When they do happen, you just move on.
Here's what Reese had to say on Sunday about staying out of the melee.

Shaq’s been a positive role model and solid example for Angel to follow; I’m sure he had a major influence on her “attitude adjustment” after she sat out several games earlier this season.

WTF!!!!! She’s the two time SEC player of the year and she did with no other basketball player (men or women) did, she brought home the damn chip. And y’all so called Tiger fans still talk shite about her. Angel needs to bounce because you a-hole don’t deserve her.

"As a person at my STATUS", "I ALWAYS ride for mine". She's not gonna need to play basketball with that Rhodes scholarship

God she makes it impossible to like her. She didn’t get involved in the shoving match, fine. But damn she has to make it all about her.

she wasn't wrong here. She said it dumb, but she wasn't wrong.

And I don’t disagree with her reasoning. But she comes off pretty bad here, at least in my mind.

whatever side people fall on, this is good for Women’s BB. I for one have watched more WBB in the past two years than my entire life. and I have certainly never seen the Rants so engrossed with it. errbody needs a little drama in their sports. makes the highs higher m and the lows lower. and you get lucky to ride the coaster to a natty every now and again and it’s all worth it! make us the villain or make us the hero. don’t care. just crown us the champion.

You absolutely did the right thing Angel. You already know there will ALWAYS be detractors, haters, and people who disagree. That’s perfectly fine and completely normal. To all the people saying she wasn’t there for her team, no actually she was there for her entire team and that shows how smart this girl is! She will be there to play for and with her team for the tournament while Cardoso will not. It may not hurt SC as much because they have significant depth but it would have really hurt LSU. Probably could have gotten by with a win for one game but who knows? Who knows how bad it will impact SC in their first game? We’ll find out and I hope we get to meet them again in the final four with both teams at full strength. I have a feeling that LSU might just pull it off. Go Lady Tigers!

Van Lith had it on lockdown. Reese didn't need to get involved.

She sprinted over and squared up on that sasquatch. Not sure what she could have done, but she was ready to do it. Her teammates noticed.

The same cast of characters comes on here to blast Angel Reese. Shaq is correct.

Good thing she stayed getting ankle treatment. The media was already trying to blame her for Cardoso‘s actions. She walks out there and SC and their coach are on full blast getting her suspended.

You can't spell "Pathologically Egocentric Street STATUS" without Angel Reese.

So what about her not getting in to a fight and getting ejected makes her narcissistic? There can be a lot of things you might hate on. But I’m gonna need you to explain this one for me.

Why did Reese put STATUS in all caps? I love what she’s done for lsu but she seems kind of full of herself

Maybe it’s just to remind everyone who the Defending National Champions are & who’s not.

Maybe her status referred to how she’s attacked by the media all the time in part due to her high profile. And she’s right.

The whole thing is dumb. Grown adults acting like teenagers over a little tension in a basketball game.

This. There was an intentional foul, and then a technical foul resulting in an ejection. The end.
