A history of Shaq mocking Howard
Shaquille O’Neal has been criticizing Howard for a while now. Back when both these stars were still playing, Shaq got back that Howard started calling himself ‘Superman’, which was Shaq’s nickname. And when Howard’s moved to the Los Angeles Lakers for the first time and that experiment failed, Shaq mocked him again.
He mocked Howard even after he went to the Houston Rockets and other franchises, but most of the time, it was for his play. But when Howard won the title in 2020 with the Lakers and went on Instagram live afterward, he was very emotional. However, Shaq called Howard out for acting like he was a core part of the team, saying that he was only a role player.
