Angel Reese isn't ready to claim the GOAT title just yet.
The LSU Tigers star, 20, visited Charlamagne Tha God for an interview on his show where she and teammate Flau'jae Johnson talked about Shaquille O'Neal calling Reese the greatest athlete to come out of his alma mater.

After LSU's NCAA championship, O'Neal, 50, said Reese is "probably the greatest athlete to ever come out of LSU sports" and clarified that his take included both male and female athletes from the school.
Reese told host that she "called [O'Neal] after that" and told the NBA legend, "Do you know how much pressure you just put on me?"

Across 15 years of competition, John Lindo and Victoria Henk have been drawn together in Jack & Jill finals at major events more times than either of them can accurately count. It is statistically improbable. Neither of them has ever requested it. At JJ O'Rama 2024, the draw happened again — and the audience, who knew the history, reacted before the music started. 👀 #WestCoastSwing #JohnLindo #VictoriaHenk #JJORama2024 #SwingDance

Maxime Zzaoui and Torri Smith met at SwingDiego 2013. They were both in other relationships. They danced all night. They went home. He called his dad. His dad said "GO FOR IT." She called her mom. Her mom said nothing useful. They got together anyway. In 2016, they got married on a French hillside. In 2018, they made a video to "Nice 'N' Easy" by Frank Sinatra that has since been watched more than any other WCS video in history. 🥂 #WestCoastSwing #MaximeAndTorri #ZzaouiCouple #SwingDance #LoveStory

Nobody planned it as a landmark moment. It was a pro show at a mid-size event in 2018. Maxime and Torri Zzaoui. Frank Sinatra. Eight minutes. Someone posted the video. Then it crossed out of the WCS community into the general internet — and didn't stop. Non-dancers shared it. People who had never heard of West Coast Swing watched it repeatedly and couldn't explain why. 🎩 #WestCoastSwing #MaximeTorri #NiceNEasy #FrankSinatra #ViralDance

2010. US Open Swing Dance Championships. Torri Smith won the Classic Division. Then the Showcase Division. In the same year. With two different partners. No one had ever done it before. No one has done it since. What she said when someone asked how — in 2024, fourteen years later — is something the WCS community is still thinking about. 🏆 #WestCoastSwing #TorriZzaoui #USOpen2010 #SwingDance #History

Maxime Zzaoui was mid-performance — full competition floor, 800 people watching — when he dropped to a push-up position and held it. Torri kept dancing. The crowd gasped. Then burst out laughing. Then went quiet, trying to figure out if what just happened was brilliant or chaotic. The judges scored it first place. 😂🎯 #WestCoastSwing #MaximeAndTorri #SwingDance #Improv #Unexpected

Torri Zzaoui started dancing at 3. By 12, the studio was letting her assist with adult classes. By 22, she was a US Open champion. The woman who first taught her — the one who put her in dance shoes as a toddler and said "this one is different" — passed away before Torri won her first major title. She never got to see it. 💔 #WestCoastSwing #TorriZzaoui #SwingDance #DanceJourney #USOpen

Zola Zzaoui is the daughter of two WCS World Champions. She has attended competitions on multiple continents. She is 7 years old. She has strong opinions about which songs are good for dancing and will tell you, directly, if a DJ has made a poor choice. The WCS community considers her a co-ambassador. 😂💜 #WestCoastSwing #MaximeAndTorri #ZolaZzaoui #DancingFamily #SwingDance

The most-watched WCS video on YouTube was filmed at Budafest 2020 — one of the last major events before the world shut down. Jordan Frisbee. A ballroom. An audience that didn't know what was about to happen. The video has tens of millions of views. What almost nobody talks about is what Jordan Frisbee said when he found out how many people had watched it. 😳 #WestCoastSwing #JordanFrisbee #Budafest2020 #SwingDance #Viral

At 25, someone in the WCS community — a respected coach — told her she had started too late. That the window had passed. That competing at the top level wasn't realistic. She thanked him. She didn't argue. She didn't tell anyone what he'd said. Nine years later, she won. She still hasn't told most people. 🏆 #WestCoastSwing #SwingDance #NeverTooLate #Champion #Persistence

He learned West Coast Swing from YouTube videos in Lyon, France. When he entered his first American competition, the check-in staff asked him to spell his name twice. 18 months later, he won the US Open Classic Division. The American WCS circuit had never seen anything like what walked in from France. 🇫🇷🏆 #WestCoastSwing #MaximeZzaoui #USOpen #SwingDance #Underdog

Réunion Island, off the coast of Madagascar. Jihlava, Czech Republic, population 50,000. In June 2016, by pure chance, they were both hired for the same styling workshop in Budapest — two people from opposite ends of Europe who had never met. Eight years later, Jakub Jakoubek and Emeline Rochefeuille became the first European couple in history to win the Classic Division at The Open Swing Dance Championships. 🌍🏆 #WestCoastSwing #JakubEmeline #JEm #TheOpen2024 #SwingDance

In 2009, Emeline Rochefeuille was a sociology student in Réunion Island. She opened YouTube. She found a video of Jordan Frisbee and Tatiana Mollmann. She watched it twice, then decided to find out what this dance was. Fifteen years later, she won The Open Classic Division — the most prestigious title in WCS. Jordan Frisbee was in the room. 😮 #WestCoastSwing #EmelineRochefeuille #JordanFrisbee #TheOpen2024 #SwingDance

Eight years of competitive orienteering — navigating forests with a compass, training long-distance endurance, winning regional championships in the Czech Republic. Then, at a university event in 2009, Jakub Jakoubek watched someone dance. He went home. He did not go to the next orienteering training. He has never explained exactly what he saw that made him quit. 🧭💃 #WestCoastSwing #JakubJakoubek #JEm #SwingDance #Origin

Five years. Five consecutive Top 10 finishes at the most prestigious WCS event in the world. Each year closer. Each year not quite there. The year they finally won — 2024 — they had a conversation two weeks before the event where withdrawal was seriously considered. They didn't tell anyone. They showed up. They won. 🥹 #WestCoastSwing #JakubEmeline #JEm #TheOpen2024 #SwingDance
