There was a time when Dwight Howard was looked at as the next Shaquille O’Neal since both were dominant forces with unreal physical attributes but the comparison also brought about some uneasy feelings.
Howard attempting to call himself ‘Superman’ and his failed original stint with the Los Angeles Lakers has only led to more back-and-forth between the two with O’Neal oftentimes criticizing him.
Even in retirement, the tension hasn’t really stopped as Howard’s career had begun to spiral down. Now, after being on five different teams over the last three seasons, Howard has a chance to resuscitate his career in a second stint with the Lakers.
