Shaq on Dwight Howard: “Superman My Ass”
I don’t know who Dwight Howard’s current girlfriend is, but if I was him I would check her emails and texts to make sure she hasn’t been talking to Shaq.
Shaq appears to be a bit perturb because:
A- Howard stole his Superman persona (accurate statement)
B- People are comparing Howard to the dominant Shaq of the past (not as accurate)
This happens a lot when great players get old they don’t like to past the torch, instead they would like to take that torch and burn the younger player they are being compared to.
After the Cavs beat down the Magic to win their 13th game in a row Shaq had some choice words for Dwight Howard who didn’t play his best.

Shaq on Dwight Howard: “Superman my ass.”
…
Shaq on getting doubled but not doubling Howard: “When I was coming up and there was Ewing and Hakeem, I never doubled anybody. You tell me who the real Superman is. Don’t compare me to anybody. I’d rather not be mentioned. I’m offended. Hakeem, Ewing, Rik Smits, Duncan, Robinson, the best of the best, straight up. I never doubled nobody.”
“You tell me who the real Superman is. Don’t compare me to nobody. I’d rather not be mentioned. I’m offended. “You’re all giving away titles, it’s crazy.”
All of this trash talking really doesn’t matter in the whole scheme of things. With the Celtics falling apart it appears we are heading toward a Cavs vs. Magic Eastern Conference Finals where we will see who is really Superman and who is Jimmy Olsen.

Hiliarious ESPN Superman Ad For Dwight Howard
*insert Kanye shrug here*
Are you showing some shoulder with that Shrug?? Hopefully
He sounds real..CHILDISH…. GROW UP shaq.
man your telling a 7ft 1in black man who ways 300 pounds to grow up. lets rethink this lol
why not pass the torch…we all know what Shaq did through out his career…he will not be forgotten…geez….
Shaq makes some valid points. He was far more dominant than Dwight Howard at this stage of his NBA career. It didn’t take a dunk contest gimmick for the people to call him “The Man of Steel” either.
It’s become cliche to compare athletes of the past to those in the present. Everybody from Harold Miner to Vince Carter was the next Jordan.
The fact of the matter is that Shaq is still relavent and feels disrespected that his persona was given away before he retired.
How about James taking Kevin Garnett's power thing. Now everyone thinks it LBJ's thing when he stole it from KG.
Shaq always has to ride the coattails of a Penny in his prime, Kobe, Dwayne Wade, and now Lebron to win anything. Must be nice to play 2nd fiddle your whole to career to the top 3 perimeter players in the NBA. If you put Dwight with any player like that it would be over and done with. Give me Howard any day over Shaq at any point in his career.
I hope this comment is a joke…and I recognize the greatness of Kobe, Penny (when healthy, Wade, and Bron… but you crazy Greg. You better go check the numbers my brotha. And you better go check the finals MVP's and the playoff numbers. Shaq was a monster…Dwight is a great dunker and rebounder but he can't score like Shaq. Shaq averaged 25-28ppg a game most years. Dwight averages 18-20ppg guy… and scores most of those on guys setting him up. Again… I hope this post was a joke… because it sure ain't factual.
You must be out of your freaking mind, Penny wasn't ish with or without Shaq, Kobe had to learn how to play while Shaq was averaging 30 and 15 in the finals runs when Kobe finally became the man against the D they lost. Shaq was past his prime in Miami and did defer to DWade. Now he is a role player not playing a lot of minutes saving himself for the playoffs But Howard will never be the player Shaq was get the **** outta here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shaq trying to hold on to past glory, but Dwight did steal his name..lol
Well actually Shaq got the name from a movie. How is it his name?
Howard over Shaq at any point in his career? Howard is not on Shaq’s level. He needs to win a championship and develop some post moves to even be in the conversation. Howard is too soft to be Superman!!!!!!!!!
Touche
Howard has looked like Jimmy Olson against the Cavs but come on now Shaq, give the kid some credit.
greg, you're an idiot.
I think it would be fun for a kid. The following page has some good one too: Easy Magic Tricks for Kids
I appreciate you for making this thing public. I learned a lot regarding telekinesis.
