He can’t seem to make his mind up

NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal has been one of Caitlin Clark‘s biggest backers in recent months and years, but he is also willing to send some criticism her way if he feels it is necessary.
Clark has been enjoying her rookie year in the WNBA with the Indiana Fever and her immense popularity means that some people are very quick to try and tear her down, but Shaq is someone who has stepped in to defend the Iowa alumni at every opportunity.
Now during a chat with USA Today, he has said that people do need to ‘calm down’ a bit with their praise and expectations of Clark, with many saying she is going to completely dominate the WNBA landscape for many years to come.
Shaq cools the waters
The current NBA analyst thinks while Clark is great, she “ain’t that great yet.”
“You gotta also understand that we’re not just going to give it to you because everybody else is giving it to you,” O’Neal continued. “You still gotta earn it. Chuck had to go through that, I had to go through that, so I understand what everybody’s doing. Yeah you’re great, but you ain’t that great yet. Calm down.
“We still got Diana Taurasi, we still got A’ja Wilson,” O’Neal added. “If you’re gonna give [Caitlin] props make sure our girls that are dominating in this league get the same props.”
Shaq is certainly right to mention Taurasi as she is viewed as the best player in the WNBA right now and of all time.
Latest Photo Of Jason Kelce’s Shocking Body Transformation Confirms He Won’t Be Coming Out Of Retirement Anytime Soon

Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason Kelce all but confirmed that he’ll never come out of retirement after revealing a remarkable offseason body transformation.
Though he was still at the top of his game last year, Jason Kelce decided to hang up the cleats on his illustrious career that will lead to a spot in the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.
Because Kelce was playing at a high level in his age-36 season, many fans can’t help but wonder if he’d come out of retirement and return to the Eagles — especially if they’re in Super Bowl contention.
But during an interview with the Associated Press, Jason Kelce made it clear that a comeback is not happening. Kelce cited that the Eagles won’t be calling him back after his drastic offseason weight loss:
“They’re not going to call me to come back and play center at 260 pounds, and I’m moving on to the next thing and I’m excited to watch Cam (Jurgens). I really think Cam is going to be tremendous this year. He’s going to really show people how great of a player he is.
He was good for us last year at right guard and he’s going to flourish at center. And for me personally, my days of playing are just done and I do not foresee any scenario taking place other than maybe medicine inventing a way to get rid of arthritis that I would ever entertain coming back at all anymore.”
