The Shaquille O’Neal beef with Dwight Howard has been going on seemingly forever.
There was the Hall of Famer posting Howard getting roasted on Wild ‘N Out that Howard responded to. He once may have referred to Howard as “Dwite.”
And now, there’s what he said on his most recent The Big Podcast with Shaq. Without naming the player, O’Neal said he didn’t like players on Instagram “bragging like they [were] the reason they got the championship.”
He went on to mockingly say, “Follow your dreams!” That seemed like a reference to what Howard said on his Instagram Live after the Los Angeles Lakers won their latest title. (WARNING: NSFW language ahead):

Fans didn’t think that if it was Howard he was talking about that it was fair to call out the veteran center (and future Hall of Famer), who absolutely did have a role on the Lakers’ road to the ring.

Shaq still hating Dwight Howard is really disappointing. He’s a Laker and he’s a champion.
Either tell him congratulations or don’t say anything. https://t.co/ZtHcnmr6aP
