🤩 Shaq & Angel Reese at LSU Tigers vs Alabama football game | WNBA women's basketball Atlanta Dream
Lane Kiffin waves toward the spectators and cameras beside an LSU team bus. Just behind him, Shaquille O'Neal and Angel Reese walk and chat as phones follow their progress. For a moment, the football arrival has a distinctly basketball-shaped guest list.
The Short, posted by the highlights channel Women Hooping, drew roughly 82,000 views in its first day, about thirteen times its usual start for the format. A separate upload featuring Reese at the LSU-Alabama game also attracted far more views than the channel's Shorts typically receive.
There is a shared college connection behind the pairing: O'Neal played for LSU before his NBA career, while Reese helped the Tigers win the 2023 women's national championship. Here, neither needs a ball. The clip stays with their walk through the crowd, accompanied by music rather than an audible conversation.
The comments turn partly to the homecoming itself, with viewers picking out two familiar LSU alumni. Others focus on a smaller detail of Shaq's appearance: his Superman chain. For a channel built around women's basketball highlights, this time the attention is on the walk to a football game.
