The debate rages in the WNBA about Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark, although the latter has probably just put an end to it with her latest performance. Enough to delight Shaquille O’Neal, who has a special request for this league.

With the NBA set to resume in a few weeks with training camp, the WNBA is in good shape with the playoffs coming up. As a bonus?

A showdown between Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark is providing some great exposure for the league.

There’s a lot of talk about who will be the rookie of the year, though Clark has undoubtedly ended the debate with her latest feat, prompting a reaction from LeBron James .

Shaquille O’Neal announces his colors for the WNBA

Shaquille O’Neal didn’t react directly, but he’s also following what’s happening in the WNBA closely. He voted for Reese a few weeks ago for the ROY, however, he’s mostly happy about the league’s rise in recent weeks. The next goal according to him? A salary similar to that of the men.

Shaquille O’Neal on Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese : “I’m glad they’re getting the exposure, they deserve it. Now we just need to allow them to get contracts similar to those guys in the NBA.”

Clark probably deserves a huge payday and she’ll get the maximum in the WNBA, but it’s more debatable for Reese.

Lots of rebounds and double-doubles, yes, but questionable impact and scoring at the moment.

Either way, it seems impossible, not in a league that doesn’t even come close to making as much money as the NBA.

It will never happen. Literally impossible.

It won’t happen for a while, the NBA is seriously worth billions

The same salaries in the NBA and WNBA? It seems simply impossible and for fairly obvious economic reasons. But Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese are helping their league reach a new level, and this is just the beginning.
