Howard and Shaq squashed their beef…

For years, the Shaq-Howard saga was so intense you could have grilled a steak on it! What sparked this legendary feud was Howard adopting Shaq’s ‘Superman’ nickname during his playing days. It got so heated that Shaq threw virtual slam dunks at Howard on social media. Recently, Howard shared in an interview that while the beef was hotter than a jalapeño in a sauna, it’s now time to chill and let history rest. Howard mentioned how he respects Shaq’s game legacy and that it’s all mutual respect now.

In a turn of events bigger than an NBA playoff upset, both legends buried the hatchet as Dwight prepares to enter the Hall of Fame. Howard even invited Shaq to induct him—a move that once seemed as likely as a giraffe winning a limbo contest. The air is now cleared between the two and the respect stands tall. Howard’s 2020 championship with the Lakers is his career’s ‘cherry on top’, capping off a career worthy of Hall of Fame honors. Now, that’s one off-court win!
