“Don’t Speak English to Me”: After Months of Being Bullied by 7ft Giant, NBA Legend Could Have a Message for Shaquille O’Neal

Dwight Howard is a name familiar to thousands of NBA fans across the world. He had a brilliant career in the NBA which was topped off with his 2020 NBA title win with the Los Angeles Lakers. However, Howard quickly dropped off and he is currently playing in the T1 League in Taiwan. Following his shocking move overseas, NBA analysts and fans, especially Shaquille O’Neal, have trolled and criticized him constantly.

Recently, Howard hit back at all of his haters with a positivity-filled message on TikTok. Interestingly, it seems like Howard’s message could have been directed toward Shaq.

Dwight Howard seemingly takes a shot at Shaquille O’Neal and other haters

It is no secret that Shaquille O’Neal and Dwight Howard are not the best of friends. Following the ‘Superman’ controversy years ago, Shaq has taken shots at Howard at every possible opportunity.

The four-time NBA champion got a new reason to pick on Howard after the 8-time All-Star joined the Taoyuan Leopards in 2022. Although Howard is earning a lot of money and has superb numbers in the T1 league, Shaq simply cannot let it go. The Big Diesel still trolls Howard’s Taiwan stint during his candid sessions on the Big Podcast.

Recently, Howard put out a video on his TikTok account which might be directed toward the Los Angeles Lakers legend. Howard wrote, “Don’t speak English to me if its about negativity, hate, or slander. My TikTok is a space for positivity, inspiration, laughs and smiles.”

Considering the number of times O’Neal has trolled Howard, this message might very well be for the NBA Hall of Famer. In the video, Howard is singing a local song along with some of the cheerleaders of the Leopards, probably for a local commercial.

How is Howard performing in the T1 league?

Despite all the criticism and trolling, Dwight Howard seems to be enjoying his time overseas. After all, he is earning more than $1 million annually. 

The 3-time Defensive Player of the Year is living up to the hype and the money the Leopards are paying him. The 37-year-old is using his 7-foot frame well, averaging 23 points and 11 rebounds. Shaq better start respecting those stats!
