Why Shaquille O’Neal believes Caitlin Clark of Fever is the “real deal”

Shaquille O’Neal always had his bet in the WNBA ROTY race. The Big Diesel really loves LSU and their alums which means that Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese was always going to be his pick. However, he had to watch Caitlin Clark and the hot-handed Indiana Fever ball out against his favorite NBA rookie on the last day of August live on the sidelines.

“When I see stuff on TV I’m like, okay. I’d like to see it in person. Well, I saw it in person. She can play. From a basketball standpoint, she makes all the right plays, gets everybody involved and she has that Steph Curry range,” Shaquille O’Neal said.

The Fever rookie has been absolutely phenomenal. Everyone expected her first year to be about acclimating to the league however she had different plans. Caitlin Clark has been blazing en route to leading the Fever rookie to a guaranteed playoff berth.

To put her greatness into perspective, she is now second among all rookies in NBA history in total points. With some games left on the Fever’s schedule, Clark could very well notch 52 more points to usurp Seimone Augustus as the record holder.
