    Why is shaq giving Dwight no respect man???



    I mean Dwight look up to this dude, now he is jealous that dwight help put magic in the finals. And he hope dwight get swept too because he got swept when he played against houston. Hope this is not true.

    I mean when shaq came into the league, he look up to hakeem and hakeem didnt show him any disrespect. So why is shaq doing this dwight. Is it because they call him superman also or is it because dwight is becoming the next big dominat man on the block.

    Because Shaq is an egomaniac who needs to be at the center of attention.

      I mean isn't it obvious

      -Insecure
      -Immature
      -Doesn't want to give up his "biggest baddest" title to Dwight

      Guy's act is as old as dirt now

      I still love him for what he did for LA, and even with him acting like a clown, I would love for him to finish in LA where he should have never left.

        Pretty much.

        In a way it's disgraceful. Dwight looks up to him and he just puts him down all the time. Dwight has shown nothing but respect for Shaq and his game and it's just sad Shaq can't act a little more grown up.

        Hopefully when he retires he walks away from the game forever because he is too immature to get into coaching or anything like that.

          I look at it two ways.

          1. This is how Shaq actually feels. If it is, it's fine. Not the best course of action but if it's how he feels he can think it. It really shouldn't matter to Dwight at all. Don't worry about what Shaq or who ever thinks and just improve. You don't need Shaq's blessing to be a great player. You don't need to be the next Shaq, Hakeem, Ewing or whomever. Be yourself.

          2. It's a show. Shaq just wants more attention.

            All you are right.

            Does not want to have that "Superman" title way from him. Which I find hilarious because he has a superman tattoo on his arm. Who in the heck gets a tattoo of superman? LOL

              0 chance that happens.

              More than likely, he'll be ESPN's answer to Charles Barkley and get taken off in less than a year for these type of stunts.

                  AWESOME, yet another Wojnarowski article talking about feelings and sensitivity in professional sports. Golly gee, he's a fine writer.


                  But Shaq does need to stop being an ***. I've never really been a big fan of Shaq off the court, he's like that one friend that we all have who can dish it and dish and dish it but can never take it. Make one small crack on him and you'd think you insulted his entire family. Shaq's always been a little bitch off the court IMO.

                      Agreed.

                        Nobody is saying "don't be yourself" though LOL.

                        He can feel or choose to say whatever he likes it just so happens that a lot of the stuff he does "feel" or say comes off as him being a complete idiot.

                          I've never been a fan of Shaq nor I've liked him but I've always respected his game. These are not kind of antics that keep me from liking him as a player.

                            Oh, I was talking about athletes in general. Anytime a member of the media asks them question about anything and the player answers it honestly, then people look at that person as if they're some bad guy for telling the truth. Just that in Shaq's case, he's always considered the bad guy for not holding anything back.

                            Yet all Dwight Howard ever wanted was to be the next Shaquille O’Neal, and when did that become a crime for a young basketball player?
                            So what's stopping Dwight from trying to become the next Shaq? Does he need a special handshake from Shaq to become that? I always hate when media members or sports colomnists always say "______ owes it to _______" as if it's a requirement and it's in their contract or as if he HAS to do it.

                              Packman, between this and LeBron, what exactly is your position on people acting like a**holes?
