From an entertainment point of view, the current feud between Shaquille O’Neal and Dwight Howard didn’t fail. Both giants called out each other’s negative traits, giving fans a reason to pick their favorite. But some fans want to end the feud, in fact, D12’s recent tweet too suggests the same. However, The Big Aristotle has other plans as he disagrees with those claims from netizens and gives them a strict reality check.

When Shaquille O’Neal called the 3x DPOY “sensitive” it did not sit well. A fan expressed, “Shaq, you’re also a sensitive big man, so I guess it’s fair coming from you🤣🤣.” The Lakers legend was not letting go of somebody else trolling him during his beef. He replied, “True I am u got me.” Let us remind you that this was hours after his previous back-and-forth with Dwight Howard ended. But Shaq is not letting the dust settle.

Another fan tired of the feud called out both former Centers. “I would never say it to y’all face because y’all would fold me like clean laundry, but both of y’all the most insecure gigantic dudes in the history of man kind. How y’all this damn sensitive about anything and big as all out doors?” But once again, Shaquille O’Neal was not letting anybody attack his credibility. Especially in a feud involving Howard. “I kno u r but what I am, my legacy is set I kno what im a b remembered for.”

The 3x Finals MVP did something similar when another account on X, compared him with Paul George. An X page posted PG’s less-than-flex-worthy stat line from the 76ers’ 99-109 loss to the Phoenix Suns today. George went “13 Points, 5-18 FG, 100% Washed.” However, that tweet contained a dagger for Shaq.

SIXERS PG MIGHT BE UP THERE WITH CELTICS SHAQ.” Yes, Big Diesel replied! “Celtic shaq had four rings while u was cheering in your moms basement.” So, today was the day when the Lakers’ legend chose to go to war.

Shaquille O’Neal ends the feud with Dwight Howard but with a fatal blow

It all started because Shaq did not like Howard’s gimmick infringement of Superman. Over the years, the latter has stated multiple times, that there was no shot at O’Neal. In fact, he even claimed once that he never watched him play until the finals against the 76ers. For a long time, he has also maintained that the beef should end.

His efforts were in vain last January as he Shaquille O’Neal replied, “No lol,” suggesting he was not ready to speak with the 8x All-Star. And it stays the same a year later but with a bigger message.

Still don’t care,” Shaq wrote on X after Howard had let his frustration flow in a post, calling out the Big Diesel of being insecure. “Nice move. I see what you doing, your legacy is your new podcast that’s how u will be remembered and u need views, dam I taught you well, great job hall of fame podcaster. But still don’t care. You need the sit down, u need my validation, I don’t need yours. How will you be remembered, think about that podcast boy.” While he also added, “Love u son,” in the end, is it really the end?
