Basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal recently criticized former NHL player Bobby Ryan for his controversial remarks about women's basketball.
Ryan, who had a long NHL career spanning from 2007 to 2021 with the Ducks, Senators, and Red Wings, made disparaging comments about women's basketball on social media.
"Why does it seem like everyone is watching women's basketball??
Oh because EVERYONE is watching."
Bobby Ryan: "Name 7 players. Not 1. Not 25-7. First and last namesgo for it."

It also promted a feud with hockey insider Chris Johnston.
"Hey Chris Johnson I'm sorry this got a little further than you thoughtwhile we use the word «nonsense» are we just going to skip over your conflict of interest? Or we gonna skip over it? Have a great night!"
Now, Shaquille O'Neal has weighed in on the matter during an episode of his podcast, expressing his admiration for women's basketball. He stated that he watched more women's basketball than men's this year, emphasizing his preference for the women's game.
"The boys s***, but I'm definitely following the girls... I don't think I even know any men's [players]."
O'Neal's comments come at a time when women's basketball is gaining significant popularity, as evidenced by the impressive viewership numbers of recent games like the one between the Iowa Hawkeyes and LSU Tigers, which attracted over 12.3 million viewers.
