Every NBA fan is aware of the beef between Shaquille O’Neal and Dwight Howard. What has escalated into a rivalry in reality is quite one-sided. The Big Diesel has constantly launched relentless attacks against his fellow Orlando Magic peer ever since comparisons broke out. Even after Howard left the NBA, Shaq hasn’t stopped. Only recently he jumped on the three-time DPOY for losing in Taiwan. Well, Howard might want to put his shield up and prepare for another missile coming his way after what happened in his latest contest.

Basketball fans watched in shock as the game between the Taoyuan Leopards and TaiwanBeer HeroBears turned into mayhem. Both sides were involved in a violent brawl following an aggressive play. Even the assistant coach came into the action as the opponents each landed strikes. All in all 12 players were ejected from the game according to Sports Tiger. While the incident is now over, NBA fans feel Dwight Howard might have to endure some jabs coming from Shaq.

Notably, the 2020 NBA champion was on the bench when the incident took place with his team. Despite not being an instigator of any sort, fans feel a storm brewing.
