You Will Hate Shaq After This...

Lamelo came into the league and got the Nickname name Melo and Carmelo said it’s cool. This could’ve been so simple. Shaq let the media narrative effect how he thinks of Dwight.

[@darrellgainer6966]

Exactly and you know what’s crazy it’s never the player who calls themselves that. They called him melo I remember people where hating on a high school lebron when it was sports illustrated that named him the chosen one or something like that. It wasn’t the players themselves. The media pushes these narratives more then anything else.

I felt it at least started with the Nick name but over the years I don’t know it does seem like shaq is just disappointed Dwight never became what he probably felt he could’ve been which was a new age shaq. Instead Howard don’t really care that much about all that and didn’t care to improve his game and u think that’s where shaq started to turn it up to a level that borders on just hating and actually caring. Shaq definitely petty but I don’t think he’s malicious in intent and I think he really do just want to see guys do great

For me what annoys me the most was after Dwight won a ring, Shaq mocked his interview after getting a ring and also later on a pod cast said that Dwight didn't "win" a ring as the one of the main guys of the team and therefore it doesn't compare to a real ring.

yup...shaq was just a bitch his whole career. got upset when penny started gettin love, needed to be center of attention when playin w kobe etc. Dude was always a bitch. Dwight was like 4 inches smaller than Shaq and at peak, was a more complete player. Could score, AND led the league in rebounding and blocks AND got dpoy several times. How many times did shaq (the biggest man in the game) lead in blocks, rebounds, or get dpoy? Yeah ZERO. The ONLY thing Shaq was better at was scoring. But total player...Dwight easily.

Most of Dwight's issues were strictly on the court, Shaq has had controversy on and off the court that somehow still connected and compounded on eachother.

Nothing was the same after Dwight decided to call himself Superman

I’ll say Shaq. Even though as a kid I looked up to Shaq the same way Deku looked up to All Might, getting older Shaq has shown insecurity issues and his laziness prevented him from being in the GOAT conversation. But when you criticize him, he brings up the 4 rings and MVPs. Shaq honestly ruined multiple center’s careers: JaVale McGee, Dwight Howard, etc. I’m just glad both of those centers have rings too. As a kid I cried during Kazaam’s ending. As an adult that movie was honestly boring and kind of…gross.
