Candace Parker Ends Shaq Friendship With 2 Words as A'ja Wilson's "Rim" Controversy May Sabotage TNT Bond [View all]
With Me’Arah O’Neal recently achieving a personal milestone in her collegiate basketball journey, Shaquille O’Neal is doubling down on his efforts to increase the WNBA’s viewership before she eventually joins the league. However, his proposal sparked some debate, and MVP A’ja Wilson didn’t hold back in addressing it.
“What is it gonna do? Honestly, what is it gonna do for us?” Wilson questioned, responding to Shaq’s suggestion to lower the WNBA rim. “That could change all of our shots,” she explained, offering a practical reason for rejecting the idea.
Wilson isn’t alone in her stance. Even three-time WNBA champion Candace Parker, who is famous for her dunking ability, echoed her sentiment. On November 24, Shaquille O’Neal took to Instagram, sharing a photo of himself with Wilson alongside a caption summarizing their disagreement: “Shaq proposes lowering the rim in WNBA, but A’ja Wilson not having it.”
The post quickly garnered attention, and Parker, who worked alongside Shaq in TNT, couldn’t resist chiming in. She humorously commented, “Goodbye Shaq,” making it clear where she stands in the ongoing discussion.
