That's bs on Shaq's part. I've personally seen how Jordan treats Kobe and he really treats him like a younger brother and you know the respect is there. Shaq needs to cut that out. D12 is a good kid.
Why is shaq giving Dwight no respect man???

Re: Why is shaq giving Dwight no respect man???
That's right in line with Shaq's entire history. The guy's been totally without class since he started opening his mouth. He's insulted almost everyone he ever played with (Penny, Kobe) or against, and never once given credit to a team that bested him. The Pistons creamed his Lakers team in '04 and he STILL insisted LA was the better team. He went on what can really only be described as a racist rant against Yao Ming when Yao first came into the league, and the media gave him a free pass - the only one with enough balls to call him out on it was Bill Walton, who Shaq also subsequently insulted (in his ignominious "Big Man Pecking Order" interview). Shaq doesn't even seem to have a sense of history, seeing as how before he got hurt, Walton was potentially on course to be one of the greatest big men of all time.
The media is totally in love with Shaq because he's a "good quote", so they forgive him any transgression including his total lack of decorum or class (can you imagine a white athlete surviving a racist rant against a black athlete? They'd have been thrown out of the league...but Shaq ridiculing Asians - well, that's okay, because it's Shaq!). I frankly can't stand the guy, and I hope more people start to realize what a jerk this guy is now and always has been.Last edited by pietasterp; 06-08-2009, 03:26 AM.Comment

Shaq has always been childish, that's a given. He's also always had a mean streak that gets swept under the rug.
I think Shaq looks at the media calling Dwight Superman and, marveling at his physique, hops, dunks, etc..
Shaq is sitting there looking at all of this, and is thinking to himself, "What's the fuss about?? This kid aint !@#@ compared to me at that age."Comment

And that's the unfortunate part is that Dwight didn't bring any of this upon himself, it's the ******** media and the league forcing the "next big thing" down our throats and hyping the hell out of everything regardless of if the hype is warranted or not.
It's the same thing with Kobe when he was getting those insane comparisons to MJ when any basketball fan who actually saw MJ play knows that it's not even close. Same thing with Dwight and Shaq."You make your name in the regular season, and your fame in the postseason." - Clyde Frazier

+1Yep. Shaq was a much better player at the same age. Completely dominant, unstoppable force. Dwight Howard catching oops and vertically dunking is nice, but his post skills are laughable. Shaq's footwork, hands and quickness are what makes him a better player than Dwight.
I would add his size and weight to that Brankles. A man that big should not have been able to move that fast with the type of footwork he had...Catch me on that #SimNation #SimHangOut Friday's @ 10:00 pm est https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...N7yxMiElOpMl_BComment
