Shaq and Dwight Howard Feud
Shaq And Dwight Howard Clash Over Alleged Disrespect.
Sporting News reports that Shaq and Dwight Howard’s feud started 14 years ago. The two men have a personal alleged rivalry.
The issue was re-ignited on social media a few days ago. On an “X,” Shaquille O’Neal allegedly bought up Dwight’s name.
Here is a post from “X” that may have caused some beef. Superman was one of Shaq’s nicknames. It appears that Dwight wore a cape during the 2008 NBA Dunk contest, allegedly using the title.
Lo and behold, it allegedly did not go over well with Shaq. Shaq continued the alleged feud as a new sports analyst to complicate things further. Then Dwight clapped back. Shaq claims there is only one Superman.
Of course, he was talking about himself. In the meantime, Dwight claims he could use the name because Shaq had retired from the NBA.
So u wear a cape and win a dunk contest and they call u superman
So— SHAQ (@SHAQ) November 19, 2008
Over the years, the two men have exchanged words. Recently, their beef re-ignited. Dwight was a guess on Ray Daniel’s “The GAUDs Show,” and Shaq’s name came up.
He admitted he has no issue with Shaq, but Dwight alleges he only reacts to his comments. At this point, things escalated to the point that Dwight allegedly wanted a battle with Shaq.
It is obvious Dwight believes he is being disrespected. Especially since Dwight shared this,
“At this point, I’m like, doe we need to throw hands? What are we doing?
This cause Shaq to respond by saying,
“@DwightHoward the fact u think I care about u is funny, but I won’t ever bring your name up again sensitive big man, a jokester that can’t take a joke. Won’t ever say your name again ever again. Have a great day and now u have been deleted. Have a great day,” O’Neal wrote alongside a slew of hashtags including “#inevercared #thefactyouthinkicareisfunny and #nowyouredeadtome.”
In response, Dwight fired back,
“I know you care. Cuz yo insecure a– been hating and talking s— for 20 years. You too big to be this insecure,” Howard’s post began. “I hope you don’t bring my name up again. 52 years old tweeting me. And still hating. Now all this time you was joking.”
This feud appears not to be slowing down anytime soon.
Tensions Rise Between NBA Stars
As tensions rise between Shaq and Dwight Howard, the NBA community closely monitors the situation to see how it will unfold.
There seems to be no end to this barrage of exchange between Shaq and Dwight. And, if you ask me, I don’t get it. Both men have been great NBA players with illustrious careers.
It seems childish for them to play out their differences on social media. After all, Shaq and Dwight are grown men. This situation should be handled privately.
At this point, I can’t help but wonder how this will affect young people. Young athletes and young people in general often look up to them.
So, for them to air out their differences publicly is ludicrous. Instead of beef, they could send a positive message by resolving this decade-long feud.
But here we are, watching celebrities exchange negative words. When will this sort of thing end? How do we expect young people to follow our lead?
That is, if we don’t learn conflict resolution. SMH!!!
