Overview
- Video from LSU’s Tiger Walk shows Shaquille O’Neal making Angel Reese’s signature “too small” hand gesture while Reese films him and reacts with an annoyed “it’s okay, it’s okay.”
- The exchange took place during Lane Kiffin’s star-studded pregame walk at Tiger Stadium and was widely shared after LSU’s 31-13 loss to Alabama.
- The gesture traces to Game 3 of the 2026 WNBA Finals, when Reese directed it at the Golden State bench; Golden State players and fans later reused the move at their championship celebrations and parade.
- O’Neal and Reese have a long mentor–mentee tie dating to LSU and a Reebok connection, and Shaq later posted about the clip on Instagram, saying “Don’t believe everything you see on the internet, people.”
- The moment has driven a fresh wave of social-media reaction and commentary about athlete conduct and Reese’s public schedule during a self-stated offseason, and no disciplinary action has been reported.
