Shaquille O’Neal advises Caitlin Clark to confront opponents physically

Shaquille O’Neal has provided advice to Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever following allegations of her being bullied during games. He suggests that Clark should fight back when faced with tough defense, particularly referencing a recent game where she faced Chicago Sky's DiJonai Carrington. O’Neal believes Clark's increased media attention has made her a target for harder fouls but sees it as a rite of passage for young players. During the same matchup, Clark responded to Carrington's accusations, demonstrating her skills amid rising tensions between the two players. The incident is part of an ongoing rivalry, with Clark recently having a standout performance, making eight three-pointers in a game against the Sky.
