He is unironically right on this, it's silly women play on a mens height basket and needlessly makes the game worse. The WNBA uses a smaller ball for the same reason
Shaquille O’Neal says the solution to making the WNBA more exciting is to lower the rim so players can dunk
“In men’s beach volleyball and women’s beach volleyball, the net is lowered just a little bit”
“The only thing missing from the WNBA to the NBA game is the dunk. I’m not saying lower it to 9 feet or 8 feet… so they can dunk”
“I think if they did that, it would make the game more exciting. They got the handles, they got the shooters, they got the showmanship, they just don’t have the dunk. Just imagine if you lower the rim just a little bit”
