Dwight Howard and Shaquille O’Neal are two of the greatest centers in NBA history.

However, they have had problems for a long time, and Howard recently spoke about O’Neal Ray Daniels presents.

O’Neal then sent a post (via X).

He wrote: “@DwightHoward The fact that you think I care about you is funny, but I will never mention your name again, a sensitive, big man, a joker who can’t take a joke. I’ll never say your name again. Have a nice day and now you have been deleted. I wish you a wonderful day. #inevercared #trust me #dontneedvalidationyoudo #stayoffpodcasts #thefactyouthinkicareiisfunny #you have to show respect to get respect #nowyouredeadtome“

Howard responded with a bold message.

He wrote: “I know you care. Because you’re insecure and hating and talking shit for 20 years. You’re too big to be so insecure. I hope you don’t mention my name again. 52 year old tweeting me.” And still hated. You were always jealous of Kobe, you’re also still jealous of Charles 5 paragraph DM you sent me a few years ago telling me I’m not so great that I hate it. It’s still 2025.
