Shaquille and Howard online spat: ‘You’ve always been jealous, you’re insecure’

This feud has been going on for years, but it continues with undiminished intensity. THE Shaquille O’Neal never liked him Dwight Howardfrom the time he was compared to him to even using the nickname “Superman”.

What Howard said in a recent interview sparked a new round of controversy between the two brutal former NBAers. “Shaq always thought I wanted to be like him. But even if that was the case, shouldn’t he take it as a compliment considering he’s showing he’s great as a player and coach? I never disrespected him, but he always had something to say about me. Sometimes I got to say ‘enough, this has got to stop’“, he said.

“Sack” didn’t let what Howard said go unnoticed. “The fact that you think I’m interested is funny, but I’ll never mention your name again, you sensitive brat who can’t take a joke. I will never mention your name again. Have a nice day, you are now deleted“, he wrote on Twitter.

The answer came immediately from Howard, who… “threw it”. “I know you care about me because you are so insecure that you have been spewing hate and saying mean things about me for 20 years. You’re too old to be this insecure. I hope you don’t mention my name again. You are 52 years old and still tweeting about me and spewing hate. You were always jealous. You were jealous of Kobe, Penny (a.k.a. Hardaway), Dwayne (a.k.a. Wade). You’re also jealous of Charles (Barkley). Do us a favor and relax your big and insecure man! I still have the five paragraph message you sent me a few years ago saying I’m not that great to be hated. And you still go on. It’s 2025, finally grow up and move on».
