Constantly Hating On Dwight Howard, Shaquille O’Neal Preaches Contradictory Philosophies For Life: “4 Reasons Why I’ll Always Win”

You might see Shaquille O’Neal hanging out with every generation and blending in with people irrespective of their age. But the 7ft 1’ juggernaut is old school through and through. He is more philosophical than any of his peers and lives by values that only a few could follow, regardless of the money they make. He is an ultimate winner both on and off the court. And recently, the big man even provided some insight into why he’ll always keep winning. However, the 1st philosophy shockingly contradicts how he has been treating future hall-of-famer, Dwight Howard.

O’Neal is quite self-obsessed, so much so that he often gave himself nicknames during his NBA career. ‘The Big Aristotle’ for one, was for his consistent greatness since his debut and finally getting the MVP eight years after in 2000. Yet, he just couldn’t let go of the ‘Superman’ title.

Shaq claims to “hate nobody” when he has been hating Dwight Howard for taking his ‘Superman’ title

Shaquille O’Neal recently shared a reel on Instagram in which he could be seen lip-synching a few philosophical lines which he might be claiming to have been following, that will always help him keep winning in life.

“You wanna know the four main reasons why I’ll always win? I don’t hate on nobody. I pray. I stay in my own lane. And lastly, I compete with nobody, except for myself,” said Shaq in an Instagram post.

The very first one of the four was completely bogus if you think about how he has treated Dwight Howard over the years just because people started calling him Superman.

Ironically, that title wasn’t even Shaq’s, to begin with. Even some fans called him out for it in the comments section of his reel.

However, he is the man of his word for most other things he says he does, like taking care of all the women in his life for example.

Shaquille O’Neal lives for his mother and daughters

It’s been a long time since Shaq and Shaunie separated and there is no way this man would not have gotten the opportunity to settle down in these 16 years as a bachelor.

However, he doesn’t want a second marriage because he already believes he has 4 wives to care of. That would be his 3 daughters and his mother.

The man has his own weird philosophies and hysterical choice of words to describe them. But one cannot argue that Shaq is a man that the people close to him can always depend on.
