Shaquille O’Neal n’a never been kind to Dwight Howard, and he’s not going to change over time. The proof, after the huge match of the Lakers pivot this Thursday against Rudy Gobert and the Jazz, he sent him a huge tackle. This is a clearly personal attack…
In the absence of LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the Lakers needed a player to surpass himself and carry the team this Thursday on the floor of the Jazz. This is what Dwight Howard tried to do, who was particularly good and did everything in his power to help his team. The Purple and Gold finally lost, but the pivot proved that he could always bring, and especially behind the arc.

For the Shaq, Dwight Howard will not go to the Hall of Fame
With 21 points and 12 rebounds, all at more than 60% shooting success, Superman perfectly supported Russell Westbrook and reminded that he could be a dominating interior. But this performance was not enough in the eyes of Shaquille O’Neal. The star consultant of TNT didn’t mince words after the meeting, making it clear that Dwight Howard was no Hall of Famer.
Shaquille O’Neal : The Lakers must change their mentality and tell themselves that they will march on the Western Conference if they manage to recover their injuries. They have three Hall of Famers in the squad, if they can’t motivate their teammates, there’s a big problem and they’ll miss the play-in. There’s LeBron, Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony, that’s 4.
Adam Lefkoe: 5 with Dwight Howard…
Shaquille O’Neal : The Lakers have 4 Hall of Famers, I won’t repeat it.
Shaquille O’Neal and Dwight Howard never got along, and the rivalry between the two is still very much alive if we believe this piquant statement from Diesel. Dwyane Wade and Jamal Crawford, present on the set, may have contradicted him, the most dominant pivot in history refused to place Howard in the historic NBA elite…
A personal and non-sporting choice, since the pivot has the track record to join the greatest. He is an NBA champion, a triple best defender of the year, and above all a leader who managed to carry a relatively weak Orlando team to the Finals! So many accomplishments that deserve historic recognition. If he did not have his place in the team of 75 years of the league, that in the Hall of Fame seems assured.
Dwight Howard has been in the shoes of a role player for several seasons, so inevitably, some forget the player he was at the end of the 2000s′. But no offense to Shaquille O’Neal, Superman should have his place in the hall of fame.
