Shaq vs Dwight @ Amway Arena (aka TD Waterhouse Center./ORena) - should be a good one.

"No. Not at all. He's a good player. He can jump. But no," he said. "I was the type of player that they had to have secret meetings and change the rules and do all that. Probably never be another me. He's a good player, but everything he's done, I've invented. So I'm not impressed."
And the final tough words from Shaq:
"Until he wins three, four championships, then we can talk about him. But right now, he is just like every other big guy. 'You can run and jump, but you haven't won yet."'
Dwight is apparently shocked by the comments:
" I can't stop Shaq from saying anything. I just wouldn't expect that coming from him," Howard said. "But the only thing I would expect from him is that he would try to help me improve my game and that's it."
Has he?
"No," Howard said.
"Like all the other big guys (do), you know, like Hakeem (Olajuwon), Pat Ewing, Dikembe (Mutombo), Bill Russell, David Robinson . . .tried to help me improve…Taking shots at somebody else, I wouldn't do that."
Plus much more (Shaq also responds to the superman nickname of Dwight)...

maybe cause shaq really sees dwight as a threat to his legacy. that's the only conclusion i can come too. there will never be anothershaq...EVER!!! just like there'll be another wilt, bill, or kareem, but sometimes pride gets in the way. don't forget that wilt was the same way whenppl asked him or tried to compare another big guy to him.Originally Posted by TrueBlack88
Lol, I like Shaq but I wish he would be more...hmm, maybe diplomatic to certain people? Unless someone outright attacks him a la Chris Bosh, I don't see why he needs to say some of the things he's said about Dwight. It just seems like he's trying not to give him his due...
