Dwight Howard Rips Shaq Over Criticism of Play in Taiwan

Former NBA player Dwight Howard slammed basketball great Shaquille O’Neal over “disrespectful” comments O’Neal made regarding Howard’s overseas league.

Howard announced earlier this month he would continue his career playing in Taiwan's T1 League for the Taoyuan Leopards. The eight-time NBA All-Star recorded an impressive stat line with 38 points and 25 rebounds in his debut, helping his team to a 120–115 win against New Taipei CTBC DEA. Not everyone, including O'Neal, was as impressed.

O’Neal was asked about Howard’s play in Taiwan by Spice Adams on Thursday's episode of The Big Podcast, to which O’Neal began laughing.
