O'Neal and Reese have been friends since she became a superstar at LSU, O'Neal's alma mater. But, he is also just very impressed with her WNBA rookie season so far.

"Caitlin is a fabulous player, the female Steph Curry," O'Neal continued. "They have done a lot for the game. ... Caitlin and Angel, because of social media and all the media outlets, they really brought the game where it should've been 10 years ago."recently when she clocked her 16th double-double in her first 22 starts, which trailed only O'Neal's 19 double-doubles in the same amount of starts in his rookie season.
